Harry has already shown some great form playing with Eastern Ranges Under 16’s and was invited to the Vic Metro trials. He is training again with Ranges and already has a club B&F to his name, along with a top 5 finish in the league B&F.

BACK TO BORONIA | JAKE GODWIN

Posted on 13 November, 2024 by Dave

Boronia Hawks FNC is excited to announce that JAKE GODWIN is #backtoboronia and has signed to play again in 2025, which will be his seventh senior season with the Hawks.

Jake is “one club” player since Under 9’s in 2007, although he moved up to Queensland and played the last three seasons for Morningside in the QAFL. This culminated in the 2024 Premiership, with Jake kicking three goals in the Grand Final. Jake played representative football with the EFNL U15’s, before playing at both Eastern Ranges and Box Hill Hawks. He played in the 2018 Senior Premiership side with Boronia. Jake is very capable either forward or back and will be a very valuable acquisition as we move in to Division 1.

He made his senior debut in 2018 played all 22 games in the firsts and added the 2018 Premiership to his CV. Tyler has been travelling over recent years but we can all look forward to him bringing another element to the Hawks in 2025 as a mobile big man. Please welcome him back to the club.

Boronia Hawks FNC is thrilled to announce the signing of TOM GASPARRONI for the coming seasons. Tom played most of his junior footy at FTG, where he won a club B&F and was part of a premiership side. He also represented the EFNL in Under 14’s and Under 15’s interleague. Tom played seniors for FTG from 2021-2023, having a breakout start to the last season before being sidelined with osteitis pubis. He took this year off from footy to recover from the injury, in the hope of making a full return for 2025. Please make Tom feel very welcome at Boronia!

2025 COACHING APPOINTMENTS

Posted on 14 October, 2024 by Dave

Boronia Hawks FNC is proud to announce that STEVE TEAKEL and DREW O’HARE have recommitted to roles as assistant coaches with the senior men’s team for the 2025 season. Together with our Senior Coach, Matt Clark, we believe this to be an extremely strong coaching panel. Steve and Drew are enormously respected within the club and throughout the league.

Steve’s experience, his level headedness and his football knowledge built over so many years of involvement at a local level makes him the perfect foil for Matt Clark. The two men are close friends, they have coached together for many years now and complement each other. Teaks is an absolute asset to our club and we hope he has many more years of coaching involvement at the ‘Hawka.’

Drew has been a respected and admired coach at Boronia for many, many years and is a Life Member of the Club. One of the most passionate and committed of Boronia people, Drew brings a wealth of football and club knowledge to the table and we are so grateful for his continued service to our club.

Please join us all in thanking Steve and Drew for their loyalty and commitment to the Hawks.

As a ruckman, he’s ready to take the next step in his football journey, and we’re excited to see his growth and contribution in both U19s and seniors. Welcome to the Hawks, William!
