SQUAD UPDATE | EMILY WELLINGTON & MACKENZIE SUPPA

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very pleased to announce the first of our new players for the 2024 Senior Women’s squad. Emily Wellington has joined the club to play with her former teammate Mackenzie Suppa, who has also signed up for the new season. Please join us all in welcoming Em to the Club and thanking Macka for her commitment to the Hawks.

We’re excited to welcome Emily Wellington down to Boronia after last playing with Blackburn in Under 18 Premier. Em has been training the house down before Christmas and impressed with her skills, attitude and training intensity. We can’t wait to see her in brown and gold in 2024.

Macka is back on board for season 2024! One of our most skilled and exciting young players, Mackenzie joined the Hawks in 2023 and showed a great football IQ and goal sense in three games, but missed time due to injury throughout the season. The sky is the limit and we can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store!


RECOMMITTED FOR 2024 | JOAN DEKKER

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that another of our premiership players has re-committed for the 2024 season. Please join us all in thanking Joan Dekker for her commitment to the Hawks. 

Joan joined Boronia in 2023 and had immediate impact for our Senior team. After playing most of her football in defence, Joan excelled in the ruck with her athleticism, run and tackling pressure adding a lot to our midfield. We can’t wait to see Joan’s development continue in 2024.
