Doug Hawkins to coach Cobras

BULLDOGS legend Doug Hawkins will coach Bacchus Marsh Football Club seniors in 2013.

After meeting with a coaching sub committee last week, the decision was rubberstamped by the club’s board at a meeting last night.

Hawkins has previously coached several Cobras junior teams, and guided the Under 16 team to a premiership in 2011, weeks after the death of player Nathan Prince.

The Cobras’ senior team have struggled for wins in recent seasons.
