THANK YOU | DAVE O’REILLY AND RAY LACEY

Posted on by

Boronia FNC would like to thank Dave O’Reilly and Ray Lacey for their contributions to our women’s football program as the outgoing coaches of our Masters Women’s team.

Both Dave and Ray have had long histories at the club, and over the past few years have played an important role in our Women’s Masters team. While they’ll both still be around the club and supporting the program, we will miss them on the sidelines with the Masters and their impact will be felt for many seasons to come.

We’re excited to have announced last week that Danny Weston has been appointed to coach the Masters for season 2026.

NEW MASTERS COACH | DANNY WESTON

We’re thrilled to announce that Danny Weston has been appointed our Masters Coach for the 2026 season.

Danny is no stranger to coaching at Boronia, with a highly successful tenure within our junior girls pathway. This included coaching our U16 Girls to a Premiership in 2023, many of who will be stepping up into Senior football in 2026. Danny had a long career within the EFNL playing with Vermont and Blackburn, and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program next season and can’t wait to get started. Danny will take the reigns from Ray Lacey and Dave O’Reilly who have done a fantastic job coaching our Masters side over the past few years.

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | JAX PHILLIPS

We’re excited to announce that Jax Phillips has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Jax has been a stalwart of the program since joining in 2019, playing 57 senior games and 21 in our Masters side. Jax is always looking to find ways to improve her game and we can’t wait for another big season in brown and gold in 2026.

TWO MORE MILESTONE GAMES

A big shoutout to LUKE FLANAGAN who celebrates his 50th senior game for the Boronia Hawks in Round 14! Since returning back to the Hawka from Upper Gully where he took out the U19s Best & Fairest and Players MVP, Luke has been a key member of our senior lineup. He was an integral part of our 2023 and 2024 Premiership sides with his silkiness and composure across half back. Luke’s notched an impressive 88% win ratio from his 49 senior games at the Hawka, which is an outstanding achievement. He is an excellent team mate and comes from a great family. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Luke in the brown and gold!

Since joining the club in 2021 RACHAEL PARNES has been one of our most loyal and hard working players. Rach is one of our most consistent on the track, most determined on field and always looking to put her hand up to volunteer! Along side celebrating 50 Senior Games for Boronia (including three Senior games in 2021), Rachael has also played 19 in the Masters and 26 with Knox, taking her career games tally to 95! Congratulations Rach and looking forward to many more in brown and gold.
