PREMIERSHIP REUNION | UNFURL THE FLAG

Posted on by

BHFNC would like to invite all past premiership players of the past 15 years back to the club on the day of our Senior Men’s unfurling of their 2023 Premiership Flag.

Every player who has played in a premiership wearing our Brown and Gold jumper has indeed left a legacy worthy of celebrating once again! Lachie McKernan, our 2018 Senior Men’s Premiership Captain has the duty of unfurling our 2023 flag.

Please get down to the Hawka and support him on this auspicious occasion. The club will be putting on some finger food in the rooms from 1:00pm to 2:00 pm and then we all head outside for the unfurling of the flag.

So make an effort to speak to a former teammate, tell them about the function, and get down to the club for a great afternoon of local footy! Be There!!

He won selection in the 2019 NAB League Team of the Year and gained third place in the 2019 Morrish Medal for the NAB League B&F. This resulted in his recruitment to Williamstown before returning to the Hawks in 2021.
