Congratulations to Craig McKenzie from @boroniahawks who was again a nominee for Youth Coach of the Year at the Eastern Region Coaches Association Awards. Fletch is a previous winner of this award.
The Hawks are very fortunate to have such a talented coach developing our young players. Fletch was recently announced as the coach of both the Boronia U17’s and U19’s, a great move by the Club to develop the strong junior talent coming through the junior ranks.
NB: Craig is more commonly known as “Fletch” because his playing style was so reminiscent of Essendon great Dustin Fletcher, a fellow full back.
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club would like to thank Rick Mills and Andrew Wright for their service to the Club after they have both stepped down from key coaching positions.
Rick has coached the Development Squad in the EFL Reserves competition in 2016 and 2017. The boys made finals in both years under Millsy’s guidance but were unable to continue their strong early season form as injuries to key players took their toll. Rick fully embraced the development aspect of his role and pushed hard for his boys to be rewarded with senior selection. The depth of the Club’s playing stocks has been clearly enhanced by Rick’s approach to coaching.
Wrighty took on the critical role as our U19’s coach when Andrew Catley stepped down due to work commitments. Wrighty tackled the role with huge enthusiasm and got the boys through to the Preliminary Final. Numbers were an issue throughout the year, but this gave Wrighty the opportunity to develop the leadership and versatility of the top age players. Just as importantly, half a dozen U17’s were blooded in the U19’s during the year which is a great example of our “One Club” approach that will benefit the Hawks for years to come. Wrighty also filled the role of senior runner throughout the season, which again demonstrates his commitment and enthusiasm.
Many thanks to both Millsy and Wrighty for their work. We really appreciate their contribution to the Club and hope to see them around in future.
The Eastern Football League has released the 2018 Senior Fixtures. You can check the fixtures for all four divisions by clicking the link below, but here for your convenience is the all important fixture for @boroniahawks.
The 2018 Division 3 Fixture will see the Hawka away to Templestowe in Round 1 in a huge start to the season. Boronia will renew acquaintances with Waverley Blues from Division 2 and Donvale from Division 4 (both home games). We have double derbies against traditional rivals The Basin, FTG and Scoresby, which will be our biggest home games for the year.
There are no easy games in Division 3 in 2018. Next season will be extremely competitive, but is wide open for several clubs to challenge for the flag. Get to training boys!
