Football will return to the Eastern Football Netball League this weekend.

The Victorian Government yesterday announced further easing of restrictions across the state, which take effect from 11:59pm on Thursday 17th of June and allow the return of Community Sport.

Below is a summary of key changes from the government and what they mean for matches played this weekend in Metropolitan Melbourne.

Travel restrictions lifted:
• 25km travel restrictions have been lifted and people can now travel between regional Victoria and metro Melbourne.

Metro community sport:
• Competition for seniors and juniors can resume with the minimum number of people required to participate and facilitate the activity.
• People necessary for events and participation, including those who need to accompany children, such as parents, guardians and carers, as well as teachers, instructors, trainers, coaches and umpires, can attend matches and training.
• Spectators are not allowed.

Indoor venue limits remain at 50. Unfortunately, this means that our Netball Competition cannot resume on Friday.

The League acknowledges spectators not being permitted to attend this weekend’s matches is a major challenge for clubs, and a disappointing outcome for supporters.  However, we respectfully ask the entire EFNL community to please respect the protocols implemented by the Victorian Government for this weekend’s games.

These protocols have been put in place with the community’s health and safety the priority.

Updated Return to Play protocols will be distributed to clubs once they are provided to AFL Victoria by the State Government.

We thank the EFNL community for your assistance and understanding.

BHFNC wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to LACHIE “LMAC” McKERNAN who has decided to step away from leading our senior men’s team after 5 years at the helm.

LMac has been an inspirational leader, setting high standards and being the perfect role model for our younger group of talented players who have been coming through our ranks.

A premiership captain, L Mac’s legacy is the younger leaders at the club who now know what it takes to be an effective and meaningful leader at the BHFNC. Our Club is most grateful to Lachie and we hope his playing career continues to shine and he stays injury-free so that his impact is still felt for a few more seasons to come!

Greg Hannon, SENIOR PRESIDENT, BHFNC

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club are very excited to announce the line-up for BORONIA DIAMONDS for 2021. We welcome all new players to the Club and hope that they thoroughly enjoy their new home. Please make them feel very welcome!

Thanks once again to G.J. Gardner Homes Australia for their great support of our netball program.

The season is quickly approaching, which means we are now looking for six volunteers to be TEAM MANAGERS for our senior football teams. Please check out this flyer and if you are interested, please send a quick message to Tim or Nathan to throw your hat in to the ring. PLAYERS: please mention this to your parents, partners or friends who may just need a little bit of encouragement to get involved!
