Many thanks to Seaford Football Netball Clubfor hosting us once again for the third year. Always a very good match up and played in good spirit. Thanks to Wayne Preston and Samantha Dunkinson for today’s updates.
Full time was called early after an injury to a Seaford player. Final scores Boronia 6.10 46 to Seaford 2.1 13. The boys looked good in hot windy conditions. Luke Hannon recorded his first win as coach, stepping in for Matt Clark.
In what was an even performance, the top four were Mitch Mellis, Ryan White, Jarrod Lake and Jess Bolton. All the new recruits played really well also.
Although a bit short on numbers on the day, Boronia’s Development Team won 7.2 44 v Seaford 2.4 16.
Players and sponsors, it’s time to lock in your Player Sponsorship Packages for 2023.
There are two levels to choose from which will provide both a discount on the players fees and access to a bunch of value for the business who takes on the sponsorship.
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club are very happy and excited to announce to all our supporters that DEAN GRICE has committed to the Club for the 2023 season. We are also delighted to let you all know that Dean will wear his father’s number 13 on his back in 2023.
Dean is a six-time winner of the Bob Henry Medal for senior Best & Fairest at Boronia. He also won four League B&F medals in seniors and one in the Colts. He was named six times in the EFNL Team of the Year. Dean has played a total of 150 senior games for Boronia and kicked 169 goals after a strong junior career for the Hawks with more B&F medals. Dean played senior VFL football with Port Melbourne in 2012 until a serious knee injury in his eighth game.
The Grice family needs no introduction to long time supporters of Boronia. Dean’s dad, Mark, was a stalwart player with the club during the late 70’s and early 80’s and went on to be senior Team Manager for several years when Dean was at his peak. Mark tragically passed away in November 2022. Dean’s mum, Jan, has been a much loved and valued volunteer at the club for many, many years.
Jan and Mark Grice
Following Mark’s passing, Dean returned to the club in January of this year. He hasn’t missed a session and is keen to continue his legacy at the club. We ask all players and supporters to welcome him back to the club he loves, and to give Dean and Jan all our love and support for the coming season.
