150 GAMES | SEAN BELL

Congratulations to Sean Bell who runs out for his 150th senior game with the Boronia Hawks, this Sunday at Mitcham in the Preliminary Final against East Burwood.

Sean is a dour defender, who has consistently demonstrated his coolness under pressure, making him an invaluable asset to our team over the years. He possesses a wealth of senior experience in the backline, where he has time and time again proven his mettle against the best opposition forwards and it’s safe to say that he is rarely, if ever, beaten. He thrives in the heart of the action, yet he remains a no-fuss footballer. One of Sean’s standout qualities is his ability to read the play with precision and make sound decisions in the heat of the moment. He is also a great club person who is always willing to help out when asked.

Congratulations Sean, on this great milestone! Here’s to many more games and success in the Brown and Gold!


100 GAMES | LUKE HANNON

Congratulations to Luke Hannon who plays his 100th game of senior football for the Hawka in this weekend’s semi-final.

A former Eastern Ranges premiership player, captain and best and fairest winner, Luke has also had a similar impact at Boronia.

A senior premiership player in 2018, a two time Bob Henry Medalist and current vice captain and assistant coach, his impact has been profound!

Well done Luke and all the very best in your next 100 games for our club!


50 GAMES | TYSON HENRY

Tyson Henry celebrates his 50th game in the brown and gold this Saturday, bringing his EFNL total to over 101 games across two clubs.

A great club person and stylish left footed defender, Tyson has been great for the Hawka over the past couple of seasons and we look forward to him making forwards earn every kick for the foreseeable future.

RETIREMENT OF CLUB LEGENDS | THE KRENN BROTHERS

At Tormore Reserve on Friday 28th of July, the Krenn Brothers, Greg and Colin laced up their boots and donned the Brown and Gold to take the field for the very last time.

Colin and Greg Krenn

The word legend gets bandied around quite a bit these days, but these guys definitely fit the mantle of Club Legends. With their dedicated service, they have undoubtedly made a significant impact on this proud football club, and their contributions will be remembered for many years to come.

Colin Krenn

It’s not uncommon for players who have been with a club for a long time to become ingrained in its culture and history, and the Krenn brothers are no exception. Their commitment and passion for the Club through playing, coaching, sponsorship and being on various Committee’s over 35 years have been inspiring to both their fellow teammates and the club’s many supporters on the hill.

Greg Krenn

As they step away from the playing field, it’s essential to acknowledge their invaluable contributions and express a great deal of gratitude for their dedication.

Football clubs are more than just teams; they are communities, and players like Hollywood and Stick play a vital role in shaping the culture and spirit at BHFNC.

While their playing days at Boronia may be coming to an end, their impact and influence will continue to resonate within the club. Their legacy will live on through the memories and experiences they shared with their teammates on and off the field and the positive influence they have had on everyone at the Hawka. We have and continue to be blessed by having them around.

As they move on to the next chapter of their lives, I’m sure all Boronia Hawks club people will always hold a special place in their hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing and playing with them.

Here’s to Greg and Colin Krenn, wishing them all the best for the future and thanking them for the incredible contributions they’ve made to the Boronia Hawks.
