Hawkins resigns as coach of Tactix

Sue Hawkins has this afternoon resigned from the role of Silvermoon Tactix head coach.

Hawkins was in her third season with the Club.

“Moving forward as a professional coach, there is a time when you have to step aside in the interest of the team,” Hawkins said.

“I have enjoyed my time with the Silvermoon Tactix and wish them all the best for the rest of the season.”

Netball Mainland Chief Executive Brigit Hearn thanked Hawkins for her contribution.

“We are sorry to be losing Sue’s expertise and would like to thank her for her contribution to coaching across the Zone, and for her professionalism,” Hearn said.

“We respect her reasons for making this difficult decision and wish her all the very best for the future.”

Assistant coach Marianne Delaney-Hoshek has been named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

The Silvermoon Tactix next game is against the Northern Stars on Sunday 30 April as part of a blockbuster Super Sunday at ILT Stadium Southland.
