Boronia will be playing our first practice match for 2016 against Wantirna South on 12 March at Healesville. This is the Long Weekend and all players are required to play in this important game, which is a great opportunity for everyone looking to impress.
As already mentioned, we then have Ferntree Gully at FTG on 19 March and then traditional rival Bayswater at Tormore Reserve on 2 April in the tune-up for Round 1 v Park Orchards.
A huge welcome back to Ben Robertson who has now been cleared to Boronia from Elsternwick in the VAFA.

Boronia Football Club is very pleased to welcome Matthew Geraghty to the club for season 2016. Matt is an experienced mid-fielder who joins the club from Montrose and previously played at Vermont.
Boronia Football Club is pleased to field a very successful Vets team that has won 3 EFL premierships in 2007, 2008 and most recently in 2011. The Vets is a great way for players to stay involved with the club, to keep fit and to still enjoy all the mateship that footy offers.
Past, present or prospective players who were over 32 years of age on 1 January are eligible for the 2016 season and are very welcome to pull on the boots. Vets training starts on Wednesday 3 February at Chandler Park. The go to man for Boronia Vets is Greg Krenn.
All current, past and prospective players are cordially invited to preseason training in the lead-up to the 2016 season.
Training for seniors, reserves, U19’s and Vets will be held at the Hawks Nest at Tormore Reserve starting at 6:00pm sharp. We will be training every Monday and Wednesday nights until the end of the cricket season.
Any new or former players interested in having a run will be very welcome and all supporters are always encouraged to come along.
Please send a message to our Facebook page if you have any questions.
Congratulations to our very own Hawks Nest Coterie Member John McLeod who received the “Local Hero” award in the 2016 Knox Australia Day awards. John thoroughly deserves this recognition for his enormous service to the Boronia community.
Please grab the Boronia Hawks Team App so that you can keep up to date as we approach the preseason. All senior players are required to have this app for training updates and it’s very handy for supporters as well.
The Boronia Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Peter Brown as the new Senior Coach of our club. The club had many worthy applicants for the position of senior coach and we thank all applicants for their desire and passion for the Boronia Football Club.
Peter has a long history with the Boronia Football Club over many years and is delighted to have accepted the role as Senior Coach. Peter’s footballing history is significant:
Peter has an acute football brain and really enjoys working alongside young footballers. Peter has always been a fitness fanatic, a non-drinker, Peter has always strived to not only make the players under his care better footballers, but better people as well. Peter has high standards and is looking forward to working with all people associated with the Boronia Football Club.
The Club fully understands the importance of appointing a strong support team to enable Peter and the players of Boronia to be the best possible players they can be. Now that Peter has been officially appointed, the Club will be making some exciting announcements in coming weeks in regards to assistant coaches and support staff.
The appointment of Peter is a major coup for our club. I am very excited about 2016 and beyond. We all now need to get behind Browny and work together to get this great club back into Second Division!
The Club will be holding a meet the coach in the near future. Detail will soon follow when an appropriate venue and date can be reached.
Kind Regards
Kristan Wood
President
