60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY | MICK and KAY KIMMITT

Please join us all in wishing a very Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to two of our absolute legends, Kay and Mick Kimmitt! These two love birds are so much a part of the fabric of our club and we are indeed so fortunate to have them.

Both are Life Members because of their unfailing devotion in volunteering at the Hawka. In fact, our Club Person of the Year Award is named in their honour. Two sons – Peter and Robert – are also Life Members of the club, so the family’s contribution to Boronia over several decades is immense, and is a continuing legacy. To achieve a Diamond Wedding Anniversary is a wonderful event and we wish them both a very happy celebration with their family.


CUPS ON TOUR | PROFINISH ROOF PLUMBING

We love seeing past players come back to the Hawka and especially when they can give back to the club via sponsorship. Adam Maloney aka Gilba played 130 games for the Hawks and knows how hard premierships are to win, so it was great to share our recent success by grabbing a photo with him and our premiership cups!

Profinish are a local business that specialise in residential and commercial roof plumbing. They cover all aspects of metal roof plumbing, fascia gutters, re-roofing, wall cladding, repairs and new roofs. Please join us in thanking the Gilba and the team at Profinish Roof Plumbing for their fantastic support in 2024.

Please join us in thanking the Steve and the team at Boronia McDonalds for their fantastic support of our Auskick, Junior and Senior Football Programs.


A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO SCOTT NICHOLAS AND TEAM

BHFNC is indebted to the contribution Scott Nicholas has made to our women’s program since its inception. Scott has been a driving force in promoting the women’s program, recruiting for the women’s program, and coaching the women’s program!

His energy and drive have seen our program not only grow but win a Division 1 Women’s premiership in 2023. Scott should reflect on his contribution and be incredibly proud of all his achievements during his tenure. Concluding with three adult female teams at our club is one hell of an accolade!

Scott’s advocacy and passion were also at the forefront of the recruiting of his replacement in Sean Buncle who has, indeed, big shoes to fill! 

I also wish to acknowledge Ray Lacey, Karen Little, Candyce Harris, and Jordan Granland who were with Scott at the very beginning and have all played a significant role in creating and developing our senior women’s program. On behalf of everyone at the club, thank you!

  • Karen Little from Boronia Hawks Women's Football.

Although Scott will no longer be the Head Coach, he will not disappear from the club and will still be heavily involved in supporting Sean and growing our female program in the years ahead. On behalf of the Board and the Committee and all supporters of our club Scott, great job, and thank you!
