Announcement | 2024 Senior Women’s Coaches

Boronia Hawks are excited to announce the Senior Women’s Coaching panel for the 2024 season. The coaches who took the team through the finals to win the Division 1 premiership have all been re-appointed.

Please join us all in congratulating Scott Nicholas as head coach and assistants Nicole Guy and Lachie Watson, while Brad Slater is appointed in a new role as Senior Women’s Performance Manager.

We are fortunate to have these four coaches with strong experience with women’s football programs. They have been instrumental in developing our team culture, values and game plans and empowering our players to take on their own leadership within the squad. We look forward to the coaches and players continuing their development pathways and to achieving successful outcomes again in the coming season.

Scott Nicholas has been appointed to coach our Senior Women’s Team for the sixth season following the 2023 Division 1 premiership. Scott is now widely recognised as a leading Women’s coach in the EFNL and was the league’s Senior Coach of the Year, across men and women’s football, in 2021. He was also named as Coach of the 2023 Division 1 Team of the Year.

Nicole Guy was welcomed to the Hawks’ coaching panel during the 2023 season, coming over from Ferntree Gully. She won one B&F with FTG and was also runner up B&F, despite suffering two severe knee injuries in each of her two seasons. The injuries curtailed her playing career, so she began coaching, including the 2022 season in Premier Division alongside Tim Cavanagh. Nicole very quickly became a valued part of the Boronia coaching team and played a key role in the latter part of the season.

Lachie Watson will continue in his role as Senior Assistant Coach, having been with the team from the first season in 2018. Lachie is well known to all Hawks supporters for his explosive football skills since he came up from the juniors. He now applies his excellent football brain and teaching skills to our Women’s Program again in 2024.

Brad Slater will take up a new role as Senior Women’s Performance Manager in 2024. He has been part of Boronia’s coaching team for two years and brings enormous experience to the squad. He played over 200 games at Mitcham in Division 1 before an extensive coaching career, most recently with St. Simons and Rowville Knights where he coached Under 15, Under 16 and Under 18 girls from 2016-2020.

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!

Nothing better than sharing our Premiership success with a local Boronia business. McDonalds Boronia has been a major sponsor of our club for a few years now and their support from Auskick all the way through to Seniors has been unwavering. From annual golf day sponsor, merch sponsor, coffee vouchers …. they truly touch every part of our club.
