JUNIORS TO SENIORS | DEBUTS
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is excited to announce the senior debut of CAYDEN WOOD. A true one-club player, Cayden has played over 130 junior games in the brown and gold and has put together one of the most decorated junior careers seen at the Hawks. His achievements include 3× EFNL League Best & Fairest awards (2021–2023) and an incredible 5× Boronia Club Best & Fairest, along with representative honours at EFNL Interleague and is currently a member of the Eastern Ranges.

A well deserved opportunity and with the Wood name back out at Tormore, make sure you get down early to watch Woody (try not to) get too emotional pre-game.
We’re also very proud to celebrate five young guns making their Senior debuts — Emily, Charity, Jasmine, Maddie, and Shayla.

All five girls have graduated through our Junior Pathway program, and now take the next step pulling on the senior jumper. A fantastic achievement and a great sign for the future of the Boronia Hawks.
Congratulations girls — enjoy the moment and we can’t wait to see you out there!

CHARLIE LAVENDER
Everyone at Boronia Hawks sends their very best wishes to Charlie Lavender and his family after Sunday’s injury.

The club is so grateful for the care and attention that Charlie received from our trainers, (Donna, Phil and Kate) and those from Mitcham, who treated Charlie with all their training and skills. A particular shout out to Damon Fairchild who immediately recognised the serious nature of the injury and ensured that Charlie was not at risk from swallowing his mouth guard or tongue.
Our players showed their concern for Charlie and ran to support him as he was carried from the ground. An ambulance was in attendance soon after and they were fantastic in looking after him.
A heartfelt thank you to all who played a role today in caring for one of our own. We also send our best wishes to Matt Barkas, who also ended up in hospital with an ankle injury.
