IN MEMORY | VALE JOHN HOBAN

Posted on by

John “Bo” Hoban, a family member of our Senior Captain Harry Burgess, passed away this week while working in Kalgoorlie. Bo was a former junior and colts footballer at Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, including playing in the 2002 Under 18s premiership winning side.

His family have started a ‘GO FUND ME: John “Bo” HOBAN to help with funeral costs and to bring him back home from WA. Any support would mean a lot to the family in this difficult time.

If you have any other issues or concerns, please feel free to reach out to one of our Board of Directors or Committee Members. The Club is here to support its members and their families so please reach out if there is anything we can do to assist.

FRANK CARROLL TO UNFURL THE 2024 PREMIERSHIP FLAG

Posted on by

The Board of the BHFNC is delighted to bestow the honour of unfurling our 2024 Senior Men’s Premiership Flag to our much-loved Life Member, Frank Carroll. 


Frank first arrived at the club as the father of premiership player and former Bob Henry Medallist David ‘Shadow’ Carroll, and soon transitioned into a committee member, long-term sponsor, and then President of our Club.

I encourage all former players and supporters of our club to get to Millers Reserve this Saturday to observe Frankie pulling the cord and acknowledging the success of our 2024 season.
