Kieran said “I’m really looking forward to putting in the work and hopefully building towards something big in 2023. It seems like a very tight group down at the Hawks and I’m looking forward to playing with a few good mates and building connections on and off the field with others.”
Please welcome Kieran and his family to the Hawka!

For Upper Ferntree Gully, they’ll be looking to snap their current losing steak when they play Knox in the first round of the 2023 season.

The BHFNC is saddened to inform all past players, current players, and supporters of the passing of former player, Mark Grice.
Mark, the proud husband of Jan, father to Dean and Katie, and was a Boronia person through and through!
A dour backman in the late 70’s and early 80’s, Mark made it his mission to welcome all new players to the club and really looked after us younger kids when coming through the juniors. I recall he almost loved training against the younger players more than playing games as his level of fitness was always quite superb! He loved a long road run and gave every training session 100%!
After he retired he became a senior team manager supporting his incredibly talented son, Dean, who went on to win six Bob Henry medals and four League B&F’s.
Mark’s humour, kindness, and warmth was actually the forerunner to what we are all trying to achieve as a club now. He lived our values and was the finest of role models for all the younger players that came through the system in the 80’s.
There will be many Boronia people really hurting tonight with the passing of ‘Gricey’. He was much loved and his passing will be felt.
Please feel free to “like” this post or leave your comment, as a mark of respect for a great man.
