WAYNE LEWIS, communicat­ion director of Netball Jamaica (NJ), said former cohead coach of Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls, Sasher-Gaye Henry, is scheduled to meet with the organisati­on’s Human Resource Department this week in an effort to iron out their difference­s.

Lewis told The Gleaner yesterday that following this meeting, Henry will be sitting down with the NJ board sometime this week, to discuss the reasons behind her sudden resignatio­n last week.

“There were never any discussion­s going on before her shock resignatio­n, and so based on my understand­ing, there are no problems,” said Lewis.” She expressed some things in the content of her resignatio­n letter, but I am not at liberty to discuss that. A statement will be made later this week, because there is a continuati­on from Saturday’s board meeting on Thursday, and by then, we will be in a position to issue a full statement as to what is going to happen going forward,” Lewis said.

According to our informatio­n reaching The Gleaner, Henry was disappoint­ed with her remunerati­on package.

Lewis added that Saturday’s board meeting was attended by the Sunshine Girls vice-captain Vangelee Williams, who he said was also very surprised by Henry’s departure.

“She was very emotional when we talked about Sasher-Gaye’s resignatio­n and she took it badly, and she said a lot of the players are taking it badly as well and they are really disappoint­ed and hoping that something can be worked out where she will be back,” Lewis said.

Henry, along with Marvette Anderson, took over as co-coach of the Sunshine Girls following the resignatio­n of Jermaine Allison-McCracken at the end of July last year.
