2018 Senior Fixture
The Eastern Football League has released the 2018 Senior Fixtures. You can check the fixtures for all four divisions by clicking the link below, but here for your convenience is the all important fixture for @boroniahawks.
The 2018 Division 3 Fixture will see the Hawka away to Templestowe in Round 1 in a huge start to the season. Boronia will renew acquaintances with Waverley Blues from Division 2 and Donvale from Division 4 (both home games). We have double derbies against traditional rivals The Basin, FTG and Scoresby, which will be our biggest home games for the year.
There are no easy games in Division 3 in 2018. Next season will be extremely competitive, but is wide open for several clubs to challenge for the flag. Get to training boys!

2017 Coaching Panel
U19’s Coaching Appointment
Boronia Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Wright as the 2017 under 19s coach.
Andrew has played over 200 games of senior football at both FTG and Forest Hill and coached at Junior level for 7 years. He has intimate knowledge of the overall football program, strong communication skills and undoubted enthusiasm for developing young men. All this makes him the ideal candidate for this role. Andrew will commence contacting the 19s playing list in the immediate future.
Please welcome Andrew to @boroniahawks.
2017 Preseason is off and running!
A great turnout on Wednesday for @boroniahawks with about 65 on the track and many supporters along to see the boys in action.
Peter Brown put them through a good solid skills session to set the standard and expectations for 2017. Four of the signed recruits were there for their first night, a couple of “possibles”, and a handful of old favourites coming back to Boronia after missing a season or two. Kate had a trainers meeting and Andrew Catley was there looking on despite reluctantly stepping down as U19’s coach due to work commitments.
Things look very good at this stage of the year.

New Direction 2017: Announcement of Boronia Football Club Board
As a result of Identifying the need to prevent overworked and burnt-out committee members and volunteers, the Boronia Football Club would like to introduce the New Direction 2017.
The structure of the board will now take shape of a directorship where the President will be the Chairman. There will be five other directors i.e. Administration (Secretary), Finance (Treasurer), Football Operations, Community Engagement and Social. Each of the directors will hold portfolios with attached managers. These managers will report to the directors monthly who in turn will report on their portfolios at a directors meeting.
There will be no need for the managers to attend directors meetings unless it is a special circumstance. The number of managers and people assisting the director in a specific portfolio is unlimited. We hope to have many volunteers taking up small roles rather than a small amount taking up numerous roles. A lot of EFL clubs are adopting this structure and we hope at BFC that it will be successful and able us to move the club forward from 2017.
Portfolios will appear on the Website shortly and as Managers are appointed they will be announced on the BFC website.
