New Lights for Tormore Reserve
A massive thank you to Alan Tudge MP, our Federal Member for Aston, who has assisted the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club in receiving a Federal Grant for the installation of new lights for the ground at Tormore Reserve.

This will be a huge boost for the Club in allowing more flexibility in the scheduling of matches at twilight and early evening. It will also bring our training conditions up to date, with the existing lights being below the required standard.
A huge thank you also to Kerryn Westcott who prepared an outstanding submission for the grant.
As our Club Vision Statement says: “The Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is One Club working together for success on and off the field”.

Boronia Hawks announce a new partnership with Ferntree Gully Motor Group!
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is delighted to announce the signing of a new major sponsor, Ferntree Gully Motor Group.

This has the potential to become a most significant relationship between both parties and Michael Banjanin, the Managing Director of the FTG Motor Group is determined to ensure that this new partnership works for both groups. Michael understands local sport and how community clubs operate.

The Ferntree Gully Motor Group was officially formed in 2014 when Ferntree Gully Nissan, the most awarded dealership in Australia, branched out and purchased two other esteemed operations, Ferntree Gully Holden/ HSV/Suzuki and Ferntree Gully Volkswagen. They now also operate Isuzu and LDV as well!
FTG Motor Group is renowned for their service and quality cars. They do not go the hard sell but work hard to develop relationships that last for many years and ongoing car sales flourish due to that stance.
The sponsorship will only work if our players, members and supporters make contact with me, Greg “Flash” Hannon, on ghannon@scopus.vic.edu.au or alternatively call me on 0438 616 130 and I will direct you to the Managing Director, Michael Banjanin who will then ensure you are taken care of and any sale will be credited to our club.

Please feel free to pass this on to friends, family members and work associates. Any recommendation associated with our club gets the club a financial dividend. So spread the word, make a visit to FTG Motor Group before you purchase your next car and make sure I know about it!!!!
Interestingly, the owner of FTG Motor Group, Craig Pearce is a former player of the Club as too is the Used Cars Sales Manager, Brian Burmeister who is a former captain of our under 16’s! Both were really talented players who would have had great playing careers but retired early to pursue their business interests. To have Pearcy and Butch back involved in the club is a great outcome indeed!
Regards,
Greg Hannon

New Video Scoreboard at Tormore Reserve.
It may have taken a lot longer than we initially planned, but Boronia Hawks are very proud to announce that our brand new full colour electronic video scoreboard has now been installed at Tormore Reserve.
Boronia Hawks are very grateful to Knox City Council for all they do to support football and netball for the Boronia community. On this occasion, we wish to acknowledge Council’s generous assistance in the grant of funds of $40,000 for the purchase and installation of our new scoreboard. This will be a tremendous asset for the Club for many years to come and will enable us to provide a far better game day presentation for our supporters and sponsors.
We also wish to thank Sandra Bell for her great work to make the successful submission for the grant on behalf of the Club. Sandra was of course well supported in the submission by our Chairman, Kristan Wood.
A big thank you to our project team that have worked together to ensure the success of the tricky installation of the new panel into our existing scoreboard structure. Former Treasurer Brian Nightingale was the key player throughout the whole process, along with Ash Johnston our Football Operations Manager. They were assisted in the final installation by the crack team of Andrew Catley, Bill Notley, Hans Wennagel, Mark McAlpine, Rob Bell and Stu McDonald. Many thanks to you all for giving up your time for this important project for the Club.

EFL Divisional Structure in 2019
The EFL has recently advised the Clubs of the EFL Divisional Structure for 2019. Boronia Hawks will be in Division 2, which is still the third division in the competition following the introduction of Premier Division. We will have a Final Four series for the right to win the premiership and promotion to Division 1.
Boronia will be joined in Division 2 by the bottom two teams of last year’s Division 2 – Mulgrave and Mitcham, Meanwhile the bottom 6 of our 2018 opponents will drop to the new Division 3.
“The new Competition structure is contained below and outlines which Clubs are in which Division for Season 2019. In the 10 Team Competitions (Premier and Division 1), the Top 5 sides will play finals and in the 8/9 Team Competitions (Division 2, 3, 4) the Top 4 sides will play finals. Promotion and relegation will continue to operate as per previous years with the Premiership winning clubs being promoted to higher divisions and clubs who finish on the bottom of the ladder being relegated to lower divisions where applicable.”
