SATURDAY SCOREBOARD | PRACTICE MATCHES

Premier Women’s Update from Sean Buncle! The Premier side had a solid hitout in wet conditions against good oppositon. The team made the most of the opportunity to test the skills, mindset and work on developing our gamestyle. Another great step forward in our preparation for an exciting season ahead. BOR 4.4 to KAR 1.2 Goals: G Kavanagh 2, J Basse, C Smith.

Women’s Dev. Team Update from Greg Hall! Good last hit out for the Dev side against a similar opposition today. Tough conditions in the wet and handled it well with most of the footy in the middle or our Forward 50. Got some reward on the scoreboard for the hard work in preseason coming together. Looking forward to Round 1 now. BOR 2.4 to KAR 0.1 Goals: M Butler, L McLennan.

Masters Update from Danny Weston! The Masters took on The Basin, welcoming 9 new players to our team today, with 8 of those this being their first ever game of football. Fantastic effort by everyone, plenty to work with. Great seeing everyone with a smile on their faces after the game. No injuries either!

Senior Men’s Update! The Hawks won 10.13 v East Burwood 4.4 with eight goal kickers on the day. Storr 2, Edwards 2, Arundell, Begley, M Collins, Fairchild, Robertson, Suttman. Thanks to Karen Butler for the scores and to Event Communication Solutions.

Hawks Development Men’s Team Update by Craig Brockley! The Dev. Team had a good win over East Burwood by about 12 goals. Boronia 15.9 v EB 3.10. Amongst the goals were Rapisarda 4, Bolton 3 and Mason 3. Good signs with 27 players having a run today. Thanks to Craig Brockley and Brighton Gas Company for the update!

Under 19.5’s Update from Luke Hannon! Great 4 quarter effort in the wet. Final scores were approximately Boronia 100 to East Burwood 30. A good effort with a few of the boys playing in the senior game.


SATURDAY SCOREBOARD | PRACTICE MATCHES

A full day of senior club practice matches for the Hawks at both Millers and Tormore.

The Women’s teams had a really good hit out with Park Orchards, who came out on top in both games. Plenty to like with the new recruits and rookies coming up from Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Juniors & Auskick.

The Men’s teams took on Premier Division’s Vermont with a great win for the Dev. Team to welcome new coach Danny to the club. The 19’s and Seniors went down but it was great to see the young blokes seize their opportunity and show the supporters that the way ahead is looking bright.

Thanks to Park Orchards and Vermont and to all volunteers today!
