Our Senior President, Greg “Flash” Hannon has a message for the club community at the mid-point of the season as we head into the June long weekend.
It’s hard to fathom that we are at the halfway point of the season already. What’s not hard to fathom is that our teams are having great success which is not only due to talent but also hard work from the Board, Committee, Coaches, and the army of Volunteers that continue to support our club!
So – I wish to acknowledge and thank the following:
~ Our players are all just quality people and terrific ambassadors for our club! Keep supporting our functions and keep using your drive, energy, and initiatives to make our club grow and improve.
~ Our coaching staff are not just great coaches but they all build meaningful relationships with their players and care about the wellbeing of each individual at our club.
~ Our Incredible volunteers range from Committee Members to Board Members to the many that just give a little of their time to ensure our club can tick along nicely. Without our volunteers, we just don’t have a club so a huge thank you to you all!
~ To our Hawks Nest Coterie leadership, our Coterie members and to all our supportersthat give our club undivided support on and off the field.
~ Our loyal sponsors. Our sponsors give us the funding that we require to operate a successful club. Thank you to all of you!
~ To the families of our players. Your support behind the scenes often goes unnoticed. You feed, clean, and offer emotional support to your child, husband, wife, partner, parent and we thank you for that. I’m sure our players do!

From our great supporter, Jackson Taylor MP: “$1.2 million to help deliver a new pavilion at Tormore Reserve in Boronia is now fully funded. In other words – you beauty!”
It was a four year journey for me since elected in 2018 to get to the commitment of $1.2 million to deliver new facilities for Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club, but it’s been an even longer journey for them.
So this is an exciting moment. With funding now in the budget that means we can move a step closer to delivering the facilities these legends and the broader community deserve.
$1 million will go towards delivering the new pavilion and $200,000 will go to helping the clubs fit-out the rooms – which means a lot of the stress that usually comes with a new home.
It’s no secret. I’m a massive supporter of grassroots sports and unashamedly so. I believe in it’s power to change lives.
And with these new facilities – it’ll make that job even easier and encourage more people to get involved, particularly girls and women who maybe couldn’t have due to the dated facilities not being fit for purpose.
This will change all that. Now, let’s get on with it!

The Under 17.5 boys attended a METEC learner driving course last night which is an initiative through the EFNL.
METEC is METEC Driver Training located at 112 Colchester Rd, Bayswater North.
Thanks to Team Manager, Ellisa Schmidtke, who sent us some pics and a report on the night:
“Great opportunity for these young men tonight. They were super impressive with the way they represented the club, and no doubt they all learnt a lot and have a new found appreciation of what it takes to get behind the wheel.”
Congratulations to our three Inter-league representatives for 2023!
Congratulations to Kate Bourke number 9, Penny Weston number 19, and Cayden Wood number 23. Look out for these numbers during the games, as we are sure they will all be amazing! 
A massive THANK YOU to Lakey, Robbo, and Collo who took our U12 and U14 boys for Training tonight!
The boys were super enthusiastic and loved showing off their skills! They were thrilled with the bonus Hot Dog for Dinner!
We appreciate you taking the effort to come out on a Friday evening in the cold and wet!! 
There was a great turnout at Knox Club by our Women’s Squad tonight as they take a well earned rest heading into the long weekend.
We are looking for some extra volunteers who would be able to help spread the load of looking after our social media and other communications like email.
Rather than the responsibility sitting with just one or two, we are looking for a few motivated people across the playing groups and supporter base who can commit to taking on specific tasks on a recurring basis each week to ensure we can communicate all the great things going on at our club in a sustainable way as the club continues to grow. Depending on the time you’d like to commit you could take on one of the tasks or maybe a few.
You may already have some skills in this area, be keen to learn more or are just looking for a way to throw your hat into the ring. Any training you would need on the systems we use would be provided and most items are now templated.
Some of the key tasks include:
If you are interested in putting your hand up, please email me at boroniahawksfc@gmail.com with your expression of interest!
Thanks

Tonight Robbo & Luke Hannon worked with AFL Goal Umpires at Marvel Stadium, assisting with kicking for goal and participating in game simulation drills while the umps got in their own practice.
Phil Watson “The umps and their coach were really appreciative of their time and effort and will have them back again! They were awesome and had a great time”
