PLAYER SPONSORSHIPS | DYLAN DOWER & TAMLYNN COLLINS

We are incredibly proud to announce that club stalwart Scott Nicholas is continuing his longstanding support of the Boronia Hawks as the Player Sponsor for Dylan Dower and Tamlynn Collins!

Scott’s legacy at our club is nothing short of legendary. From 2000 to 2025, he has been a One Club Player, amassing over 300 games as both a player and coach across our junior and senior programs. Scott’s energy and drive have been the backbone of some of our greatest achievements:

  • Senior President (2018–2019): Overseeing the historic Triple Premiership in 2018.
  • Club Chairman (2019–2022): Providing steady leadership and vision through the COVID pandemic.
  • Women’s Team Coach (2018–2024): The driving force behind our women’s program.

Thank you for your continued dedication and for backing Dylan and Tamlynn for the 2026 season!


PLAYER SPONSORSHIPS | MADDY & SOPHIE STARK

We are absolutely thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership for the 2026 season! A massive thank you to Jake Edwards and the Moondani Toombadool Centre for jumping on board as player sponsors for sisters Maddy and Sophie Stark!

The Moondani Toombadool Centre, established in 2018 at Swinburne, is a transformational leader grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges. In the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri People, Moondani Toombadool means ‘embracing teaching and learning’—a sentiment that we are proud to carry on our journey this year.

Maddy is coming off an absolute blinder of a 2025 season! She’s proven herself as one of the rising stars in the league, recently earning: EFNL Team of the Year honors; Club Best & Fairest; Division 3 Leading Goal Kicker. “Starky” has slotted 64 goals over the last three seasons. We can’t wait to see what she and Sophie achieve with this incredible support behind them!

Join us in thanking Jake Edwards and the Moondani Toombadool Centre.

The countdown to season 2026 is on, and all players, families, and supporters of the Boronia Hawks are warmly invited to join us for a Pre Season Gathering.

? On The Deck at the The Knox Club

? Saturday 28th March 2026

This is a fantastic opportunity to come together as one club and officially kick off the season. Meet and welcome our new players, reconnect with teammates, and celebrate everything that makes our Hawka family so special. Whether you’re pulling on the brown and gold for Netball, the Women’s Masters, or the Men’s Vets footy sides, this night is for you.

Why not pop into The Knox Club and enjoy a great meal with teammates, family and friends! Let’s start 2026 the right way — together.


PRACTICE MATCH 1 | DONE AND DUSTED!

It was a handy hit out as our Women’s Squad completed their preseason camp with a six quarter match against Beaumaris on Sunday at Seaford.

Hot conditions prevailed so the game was cut short but the Hawks were able to get a good run in. New players across Senior and Development teams were able to have their first hit out in brown and gold and we’re excited for our next practice match on 21 March!

Thanks to Beaumaris for the game and to Goodyear Autocare Boronia for supporting our teams!


PLAYER SPONSORSHIP | CADHLA SCHMIDLI

We are stoked to have John Schmidli and SCAD DESIGN back on board sponsoring Cadhla Schmidli for 2026.

Cad is a powerhouse for the Hawks: 2025 Leadership Group, 16 goals in 14 games, Premier Team of the Year, R/U for the Ellen Johnson Medal, all in her debut season. She’s the real deal, and so is her sponsor!

If you need a product idea turned into reality, from concept to manufacturing, John and the team at Scad Design are the B2B specialists you need. Check them out:
