Many thanks to our members who attended last night’s Annual General Meeting at the Knox Club.
The Club is very pleased to announce the newly elected members of the Junior Committee, Senior Committee and Board of Directors.
We welcome Tanya Parkins and Karen Little to the Board; Greg Hannon and Jason Davis to the Senior Committee; and Rachel Odgers and Candyce Wright to the Junior Committee.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Libby Flanagan, Brett Smith and Debbie Rouse who have stepped down from their previous roles.
The Club’s AGM is coming up very soon and we already have nominees willing to stand for many roles. But we also have vacancies where we are looking for Club members to take us forward in to 2019. We seek expressions of interest from all sections of our Club: seniors or juniors, football or netball, men’s or women’s teams. All our volunteers work together to support and guide newbies!
If you would like to become more involved in our great Club please have a word with Kristan Wood, Ellisa Schmidtke or any of our current Board or senior and junior committee members. (Scott Nicholas is off in Nepal right now, so you can contact Dave Nicholas instead).
Roles without any nominees at the moment are:
Some of these roles used to be big and scary, but we have managed to share the load and set up processes to make our administrative jobs much easier than they once were. It is all about TEAMWORK. We would love to hear from you!

Congratulations to Mitch Mellis from Boronia Hawks who capped off a terrific year in the TAC Cup by winning the Pennington Medal for Best and Fairest with Eastern Ranges.
Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that Luke Hare will play with the Club again in 2019 after missing all of the 2018 season with work commitments. Luke had a very successful junior career playing in five A grade flags for Knox before coming to Tormore Reserve in 2017. His strengths are his leg speed and a raking left foot kick which enables him to hit up his targets or boot a long bomb goal.
Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Granland as Assistant Coach for our Development Squad in 2019.
Greg is no stranger to the Club as the father of Jordan Granland and has been a regular at our games over recent years. Greg has a strong background as a junior and youth coach and has very recently completed his Level 2 Coaching Accreditation.
He has coached Under 15’s, Under 17’s and Under 19’s with The Basin over the past few years and has been successful in coaching all his teams to finals.
Greg has also been involved in coaching the EFL’s junior inter-league teams over the past five years, which again demonstrates his capabilities and recognition as a coach.
Greg has a passion for developing young footballers and now has a fantastic opportunity to work with Craig Brockley, our Development Squad Coach, and our exciting group of young players.
We are also willing to forget the memorable incident when he split open our Chairman’s head during a Vets game a few years ago! Please congratulate Greg on joining the Hawka and make him feel welcome when he joins us for the 2019 season.

And that’s a wrap for Boronia Hawk’s Premier Division season 2018, losing to Lilydale and ending our Grand Final hopes 51-66. Lilydale out played us. They shot with accuracy and rarely lost a ball in their possession. Although Hawks had some great game play, we just didn’t have what it takes to win tonight.
Hawks had a great season in Premier Division finishing 4th out of 10 teams. After coming up from Division 1 the team should be very happy with their efforts. We often had a different team each week with 18 players taking the court for us this season. While it’s great to have so many players represent Boronia, next year we hope to have a smaller, more united side who play the whole season as a tight unit and take it all the way to the grand final. I truly believe there are bigger and better things to come from this team.
Bad luck ladies. It’s never fun to lose and miss out on the grand final, especially after such a great season. I do hope you all enjoyed what really was a great season of netball with a lovely group of ladies. Coaching and managing you has been really enjoyable and I truly thank you all for supporting me. Coaching is so much harder (and stressful) than playing, but it’s been really nice to stay involved and watch you all play some great netball. You are such a lovely bunch of talented, kind and friendly girls, your support for each other has been fantastic. Every time a new player came in, you made them feel instantly part of the team. You all played a hard, competitive and clean season of netball and represented our club with class. Bumma we don’t get our GF! You deserve it after this season, but as you all know: that netball! You win it, you lose it, but we love it!!!
