Please join us all in wishing a very Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to two of our absolute legends, Kay and Mick Kimmitt! These two love birds are so much a part of the fabric of our club and we are indeed so fortunate to have them.
Both are Life Members because of their unfailing devotion in volunteering at the Hawka. In fact, our Club Person of the Year Award is named in their honour. Two sons – Peter and Robert – are also Life Members of the club, so the family’s contribution to Boronia over several decades is immense, and is a continuing legacy. To achieve a Diamond Wedding Anniversary is a wonderful event and we wish them both a very happy celebration with their family.
CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE | ALL CLUB VOLUNTEERS, COACHES, MEMBERS AND PARENTS ARE INVITED – presented by Knox City Council and SALT – Sport and Life Training and sponsored by Community Bank Ferntree Gully.
Tormore Reserve is receiving $5 million from the Albanese Labor Government for their brand new pavilion and facilities upgrades!
I was thrilled to join Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government @catherine_kingmp to announce the funding. This $5 million investment will ensure that @boroniahawksfnc,Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Junior and @boronia_cc have the facilities they deserve.
Along with the $1.2 million from the Victorian State Government, this combined $6.2 million project is fully funded and ready to be delivered by Knox City Council.
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Junior are enormously proud of this generous support for our club. We believe it to be a vote of confidence in our ongoing commitment to maintain a strong and inclusive environment for our players, their families and all our members and local supporters. We are very grateful to @marydoylemp @jacksontaylormp, Catherine King MP and @knoxcouncil for their backing of our sporting, social and wellbeing programs.
On behalf of our club and our co-tenants from Boronia Cricket Club, we all thank you so much!
Thank you to MACEY RYAN and MCR ELECTRICAL for Player Sponsorship of GEOFF BELL for the 2024 season.
“Joffa” has now racked up 31 games for Boronia Vets, and can always be relied on for 100% effort. The same can be said off-field where Geoff is one of our most dedicated and hard working volunteers, always lending a hand at Auskick and at match days. A great club man.
Let’s all stop for a moment and think about the tremendous contribution of women to our club as we recognise #internationalwomensday Thank you for everything.
We made a great contribution last year and after such an awesome Premiership Season on field this year, I know The Hawka Family are ready to dig deep to help those less fortunate in our local area, especially in these tough times.
So everyone is invited to come down to Tormore Reserve @ 6pm on Wednesday 13th December for a light and fun training session, followed by a BBQ.
