Boronia Hawks win Premier Division Netball
It’s a Premiership! Our top ranked netball team, Boronia Hawks, has won the Grand Final in EFL Premier Division scoring 48 goals to Fairpark Yellow 32. The Hawks were in great form from the outset. They established an early lead and then stayed on top, pressuring the opposition, to record a very convincing win over last year’s premiers.

Coaching Announcement
The Boronia Football Netball Club would like to advise that after two years with the Hawks, the Club will not be renewing the contract of Senior Coach Peter Brown.
Peter’s passion, dedication and care for the young group of players has been evident to everyone, and he’s been integral to the continued development of individuals over the past two seasons.
After a succesful year in 2016 reaching the finals series, the Hawks were unable to repeat this effort in 2017, despite winning more games than the previous year.
The Club would like to thank Peter, and partner Jo, for their support over the past two seasons and we wish them all the best in the future.
Thanks Browny.
Kristan Wood
Chairman,
BORONIA FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB

One Club – Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club
Boronia Football Club and Boronia Junior Football Club are very pleased to announce to all players, members, sponsors and supporters that the three resolutions put to a vote at last night’s Special General Meeting were passed. The two clubs will now proceed with plans to formalise our merger to one Club, the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club.
The One Club Solution will ensure a sustainable football pathway from AusKick to Juniors to U19’s to Seniors, and even to Veterans. The goal is to provide a similar pathway for girls footy from AusKick to Juniors then Seniors, and also to build on our current commitment to the Club’s Netball program.
Last night’s meeting was well attended and provided an open forum for discussion and understanding of the Club’s future strategic direction. Many thanks to all those who attended or lodged proxies. Thank you also to Kristan Wood and Ellisa Schmidtke for successfully leading this initiative for our Club’s future.
