Boronia Hawks – EFNL InFocus 2023

The Hawks are looking to play a more consistent brand of footy in 2023 after some great off-season recruiting while the women’s program continues to develop with two senior sides and an over 35 masters team.

MEN’S PRACTICE MATCHES v SEAFORD

Many thanks to Seaford Football Netball Club for hosting us once again for the third year. Always a very good match up and played in good spirit. Thanks to Wayne Preston and Samantha Dunkinson for today’s updates.

Full time was called early after an injury to a Seaford player. Final scores Boronia 6.10 46 to Seaford 2.1 13. The boys looked good in hot windy conditions. Luke Hannon recorded his first win as coach, stepping in for Matt Clark.

In what was an even performance, the top four were Mitch Mellis, Ryan White, Jarrod Lake and Jess Bolton. All the new recruits played really well also.

Although a bit short on numbers on the day, Boronia’s Development Team won 7.2 44 v Seaford 2.4 16.


We’re building our Masters Team!

We’re looking for women 35 and over who are keen to join our squad and play on a fortnightly basis, no previous experience playing footy necessary.


Our friendly and welcoming women’s squad train as one group with seniors, development and masters on Mondays and Wednesdays when the season begins. Details are TBA!

If you or someone you know would like any more information, please reach out to the club at boronia@efnl.org.au


Under 12’s take on Gaelic Football!

Congratulations to our U12 boys that played in the Noel Walsh Gaelic Tournament today at La Trobe Sporting Complex.

3 Round Robin Games:

  • Won 17 – 1
  • Won 22 – 3
  • Won 14 – 0
  • They made it through to the Semi to win 11 – 10

Unfortunately after a super long day and lots of hard play and determination they lost to the Young Melbourne Gaelic Team in the Grand Final 6 – 24

They represented Boronia Footy Club with Passion, Mateship, Determination and Class. They have started their preseason superbly!

Good Job Boys!!
