THANK YOU | DAVE O’REILLY AND RAY LACEY

Posted on by

Boronia FNC would like to thank Dave O’Reilly and Ray Lacey for their contributions to our women’s football program as the outgoing coaches of our Masters Women’s team.

Both Dave and Ray have had long histories at the club, and over the past few years have played an important role in our Women’s Masters team. While they’ll both still be around the club and supporting the program, we will miss them on the sidelines with the Masters and their impact will be felt for many seasons to come.

We’re excited to have announced last week that Danny Weston has been appointed to coach the Masters for season 2026.

Congratulations to HARRY CHAPMAN for being named in the 2025 Marsh AFL National Academy Squad.

The National Academy is comprised of 50 of the country’s most talented young footballers who have been selected to take part in the high performance program during their Draft year. Each of the boys and girls squads feature 25 players who were born in 2008 and will be eligible for the 2026 Telstra AFL Draft and 2026 Telstra AFLW Draft.

NEW MASTERS COACH | DANNY WESTON

Posted on by

We’re thrilled to announce that Danny Weston has been appointed our Masters Coach for the 2026 season.

Danny is no stranger to coaching at Boronia, with a highly successful tenure within our junior girls pathway. This included coaching our U16 Girls to a Premiership in 2023, many of who will be stepping up into Senior football in 2026. Danny had a long career within the EFNL playing with Vermont and Blackburn, and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program next season and can’t wait to get started. Danny will take the reigns from Ray Lacey and Dave O’Reilly who have done a fantastic job coaching our Masters side over the past few years.
