Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that former senior player, Mark ‘Owie’ O’Neil has been appointed Veterans Coach for the 2024 season.

Owie has had a long association with the Vets, and has been Greg Joseph’s right hand man in previous seasons. We wish Owie the very best in his new role. He has big shoes to fill but Mark has a great footy pedigree.

Boronia Vets are grateful to Awesome Conveyancing and GK Travel & Cruise for their loyal support.

PREMIERSHIP CUPS ON TOUR | Stonewood Paving & Landscaping

Another one of own giving back to the club. Darran Hansby is a current Men’s Veterans player who also happens to run and own Stonewood Paving & Landscaping. A BRONZE sponsor who also has been a co-sponsor of our Stubby Holders for the past few years.

He was a hard man to catch but we finally cornered him down at Tormore between jobs to share with him our Premiership success and grab a photo.

PREMIERSHIP CUPS ON TOUR | Knox Club

Our four Premierships cups made a visit to our ‘second home’ and long-term PLATINUM sponsor in the Knox Club.

Our partnership with the Knox Club goes back many years and we are truly grateful for the support they give the club and more so what we can give back to them with our patronage. It was great to catch up with Brian and Janine to show them our new silverware and share our success with the Club.

Whether it be after work drinks on their new deck, dinner with family and friends or a punt on the pokies or TAB, the Knox Club has everything you need to be entertained. Be sure to pay them a visit, buy a membership and more importantly link it to Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club via the application form!

Thanks again to Leigh and the team at the Knox Club for your support in 2023!

RETIREMENT OF CLUB LEGENDS | THE KRENN BROTHERS

At Tormore Reserve on Friday 28th of July, the Krenn Brothers, Greg and Colin laced up their boots and donned the Brown and Gold to take the field for the very last time.

Colin and Greg Krenn

The word legend gets bandied around quite a bit these days, but these guys definitely fit the mantle of Club Legends. With their dedicated service, they have undoubtedly made a significant impact on this proud football club, and their contributions will be remembered for many years to come.

Colin Krenn

It’s not uncommon for players who have been with a club for a long time to become ingrained in its culture and history, and the Krenn brothers are no exception. Their commitment and passion for the Club through playing, coaching, sponsorship and being on various Committee’s over 35 years have been inspiring to both their fellow teammates and the club’s many supporters on the hill.

Greg Krenn

As they step away from the playing field, it’s essential to acknowledge their invaluable contributions and express a great deal of gratitude for their dedication.

Football clubs are more than just teams; they are communities, and players like Hollywood and Stick play a vital role in shaping the culture and spirit at BHFNC.

While their playing days at Boronia may be coming to an end, their impact and influence will continue to resonate within the club. Their legacy will live on through the memories and experiences they shared with their teammates on and off the field and the positive influence they have had on everyone at the Hawka. We have and continue to be blessed by having them around.

As they move on to the next chapter of their lives, I’m sure all Boronia Hawks club people will always hold a special place in their hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing and playing with them.

Here’s to Greg and Colin Krenn, wishing them all the best for the future and thanking them for the incredible contributions they’ve made to the Boronia Hawks.
