A cracking day at Batterham Park in the battle for the Headspace Cup between The Basin and Boronia Hawks Senior Womens teams.
The game was played in great spirit, with both teams coming together at the end of the game to chat about the importance of looking out for each other. Thanks to Dyl Dower and GrowClub for the hoodies. Tilly Birkett and Jaimee Monk both looked great in the hoodies after being named best on ground for their respective teams.
Good luck to this young man as he makes his Senior debut in the brown and gold in the main game against Park Orchards. Go well Tom!

We’re pumped to announce that Jordan Church has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!
Still eligible for Under 19s, Jordan has made a seamless transition into Division 1 footy in his first year at the club and already looks right at home. Whether playing across half-back or through the midfield, his composure, toughness, and footy IQ have stood out all season long. With maturity well beyond his years, Jordan is a key part of our exciting next generation. He’s already a senior Best & Fairest winner at FTG, and in 2025 he’s shown he belongs at Division 1 level with the Hawks.
Jordan carries one of the great Boronia names. He’s the son of Russell Church a 2000 senior premiership player and 2002 Bob Henry Medallist and the nephew of club favourite Rod “Rocket” Church.
We’re thrilled to have him locked in for 2026 — and trust us, keep an eye on this name for many years to come at the Hawka.
