Congratulations to the four players awarded ANZAC Day Medals in their respective games.
Boronia Hawks is very pleased to announce that three loyal servants of the club have been honoured as our Numbers 1 and 2 Ticketholders for 2024.
The legendary Krenn Brothers, Colin and Greg, are our Joint No. 1 Ticketholders. They are not pulling on the boots this year for the first time in many decades. Both Stick and Hollywood are Life Members of the club.
Our No. 2 Ticketholder is Simon West, the longstanding custodian and namesake of “Horse’s Bar” on match days. Please join us all in congratulating this year’s recipients of these awards.
Congratulations to all of our very worthy winners who were recognised for the achievements at the Senior Awards Nights. We trust that everyone enjoyed celebrating our very successful teams across all of our football and netball programs.

Cayden Wood has now joined Mitch Mellis in winning a third League Best and Fairest for Boronia Juniors.
Cayden has now won the EFNL Best and Fairest in three consecutive seasons: Under 13’s in 2021, Under 14’s in 2022 and Under 15’s in 2023. This matches the career of Mitch Mellis who won the medals in Under 11’s in 2012, Under 12’s in 2013 and Under 13’s in 2014.
Juniors who have won two League B&F’s are also some of the club’s most outstanding young players: Craig Folino in 13’s and 14’s in 1991 and 1992; Patrick Garrity in 12’s and 13’s in 1996 and 1997; and Alex Fiore in 12’s and 14’s in 2001 and 2003 (Alex was also runner-up by one vote in 2002 and won a 3rd medal at Knox in 2005).
Congratulations to all of our juniors who enjoyed themselves and played some great footy throughout the year. It was a very successful year on and off the field, with three teams making grand finals and the Under 14 Boys and Under 16 girls winning premierships.
We would like to recognise the club award winners, while remembering that their teammates, coaches and volunteers all contributed to the overall success of the Junior Hawks in 2023.
Congratulations to Rachel Slater for being awarded the Blue Ribbon Medal for her outstanding Best on Ground performance in the Division 1 Grand Final.
Despite a heavy tag, Rachael’s performance proved to be decisive in a tight contest. According to Premier Data she had 24 disposals, 16 contested possessions, 6 marks (inc. 5 intercept marks), 4 clearances, 11 inside 50s, 7 tackles, 1 gamebreaking goal and 163 Ranking Points.
Congratulations Rachael on a great game to cap off your season!
