New High Tech Scoreboard at Miller Park
Our Electronic Scoreboard is up and running at Miller Park.
It looks fantastic. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank a number of people who made this project possible and a huge success. Firstly, Kerryn Westcott (U17 Parent). Kerryn was instrumental in putting in an outstanding Grant submission, securing us a $40,000 grant for this project. Well done Kerryn!
Thank you to Nathan Allen (Senior Vice Pres and Player). Nathan ran the project from start to finish, ensuring everything went to plan with the placement, planning and erection of the board. Top effort Nathan. Dillio Rech (Coterie and Senior Clubman). Dillio was our excavator in this project, digging the trenches and holes for the steel framework. His work was very generously gifted to the club. Hats off to Dillio.
Shane Bishop (Past Junior President and Past Parent of the Club) did all the electrical work associated with the scoreboard, including running power to the shed at Millers. Thank you for all your efforts. Cam Mellis also assisted with initial steel fabrication information and project info. Thanks Cam. I know there were other people who assisted Nathan with the concrete footings, and I would like to thank them for all their efforts as well.
It’s with the great support of people within the whole club that allow us to complete projects such as this. Well done and thank you once again.
Ellisa Schmidtke, Junior President

New Boronia Auskick Co-ordinator
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very pleased to announce that Luke Biddau has been appointed to the role of Auskick Co-ordinator for 2018. Luke will lead Boronia Auskick Centre to a new era as it moves to Friday nights at Tormore Reserve for the 2018 season. He will also play a very active role in implementing a series of footy clinics at local schools to open up the opportunities for boys and girls to learn their footy with the Hawks.
Luke is actually a former Auskicker himself, developing his skills up at Chandler Park before moving on to Boronia Juniors. After a stint in the hills with Olinda-Ferny Creek, Bidds returned to Tormore Reserve as a senior player in 2013. Known as a dangerous forward, Luke has kicked 42 goals over the last few seasons, which would have been many more except for the curse of nagging injuries.
Luke is a great match-up for the role of the Club’s Auskick Co-ordinator given his working background with Knox Leisureworks and as a youth leader at summer camps in the U.S.A. Bidds has also been an assistant coach with Boronia Juniors in recent seasons, working closely with Craig “Fletch” McKenzie. In 2018, Luke is once again working hard from the sidelines as Assistant Coach for the Boronia U17’s.
Please join us in congratulating Luke on his appointment that will lead to an exciting new phase for Boronia Auskick and will underpin the successful footy pathways with Boronia Hawks.
