Please join us all in congratulating four of our senior players who reach personal milestones with the Hawks on 14 June.
A huge congrats to Brayden Wright, who notches up his 100th game for Boronia this weekend! Wrighty was a key part of our Development Squad premierships in 2018 and 2019, holding down the ruck with athleticism and consistency. After a couple of seasons at Ferntree Gully, it’s great to have him back in the brown and gold. Well done, Wrighty!
One of the premier midfielders in the EFNL, Steph Phillips has starred for Boronia since joining in 2021. Runners up in the Ellen Johnson Medal on three occasions, Steph has also been selected in the EFNL Team of the Year in our 2023 premiership year. Congratulations Steph on reaching 50 games in brown and gold!
A huge congratulations to James Gardiner-Hoffman on playing his 50th game for the Boronia Hawks FNC! After a couple of seasons away, we couldn’t be happier to have him back in the brown and gold where he belongs. Welcome home, Jimmy — and here’s to many more games in the Hawka guernsey!
Congratulations to Mitch Mellis, who notches up his 50th senior game for Boronia Football Club this weekend! In just 50 games, Mitch has built an impressive resume – 2 premierships, a Bob Henry Medal, and Division 2 2x League Best & Fairest. A dynamic midfielder with skill and toughness, Mitch consistently leads by example. The son of Boronia great Cam Mellis, Mitch continues the family legacy with pride and passion every time he pulls on the jumper. Well done Mitch – here’s to many more in the brown and gold!
Congratulations to APRIL DYE who will debut this weekend in the Eastern Ranges U18 team ! Go well April, we will be cheering you on!
This week, 2018 Premiership Captain Lachie McKernan plays his 150th match wearing the brown and gold.
LMac has been instrumental in establishing a team-oriented culture that has facilitated our club’s very good name within the EFNL. LMac has been a leader of men, a bloody fine player, and a great support to the coaching staff throughout his career at Boronia.
A tough, uncompromising onballer who always played team-oriented football. LMac retired from senior football with much petrol still in the tank for family and business reasons at the end of 2021, but has returned this season to help with our transition into Div 1. Many of his leadership dispositions are still seen and lived through Harry Burgess, Luke Hannon, and Ryan White as LMac’s legacy will be long-standing.
We congratulate LMac on 150 great games at The Hawka, and we thank and acknowledge his contribution to the broader growth of our club.
A huge congratulations to Jack Rankin on playing his 50th game for the Boronia Hawks FNC! A ripping young fella, who has a crack every time he puts on the brown and gold.
Massive news on the Interleague front ! Seven Boronia players have been named in the 2025 EFNL SQUADS !!
Huge congratulations to the very talented Aine O’Reilly U15 Girls, Campbell Butler U15 Boys, Leni Farrell U14 Girls, Maya Lechner U14 Girls, Ava Chapple U14 Girls, Tahlya Armstrong U14 Girls and Zac Papworth U14 Boys. Huge effort, we are all very proud of you and can’t wait to see you all in action!
John “Bo” Hoban, a family member of our Senior Captain Harry Burgess, passed away this week while working in Kalgoorlie. Bo was a former junior and colts footballer at Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, including playing in the 2002 Under 18s premiership winning side.
His family have started a ‘GO FUND ME: John “Bo” HOBAN to help with funeral costs and to bring him back home from WA. Any support would mean a lot to the family in this difficult time.
If you have any other issues or concerns, please feel free to reach out to one of our Board of Directors or Committee Members. The Club is here to support its members and their families so please reach out if there is anything we can do to assist.
