JUNIORS WIN EFNL B&F’s | 4 OUT OF 4!

In absolutely huge news, all 4 of our 4 nominated juniors have taken out ENFL Best & Fairest at tonight’s award ceremony. What an amazing achievement for each of these players and all of those who have supported them.

A massive Congratulations to MAX COLLINS (U17.5C), KATE BOURKE (U16C), CAYDEN WOOD (U15B) & JULIAN BENTLEY (U14D).


2024 RE-SIGNINGS | M MELLIS, KNOOPS & WHITE

The BHFNC are very pleased to announce the re-signing of Mitch Mellis, Nick Knoops and Ryan White.

MITCH MELLIS brings with him speed, endurance, class, and ferocity to every contest and we are delighted to announce his re-signing for 2024. Clearly one of the best footballers in the EFNL, Mitch’s signature (even though it was taken on a napkin at Wayno’s red wine night) is big for our club as we strive to enter Division One in 2025. A leader at such a young age, he drives standards and demands respect!

NICK KNOOPS has been a revelation since joining our club. He can play forward or in the ruck and his contributions are significant each match day. A quiet, unassuming character, Nick plays a vital role in our set up and we are delighted with his signing for 2024.

RYAN WHITE is a dual Bob Henry Medallist and is all class. He can play on the wing, in the midfield, or even forward when asked. A running machine, Ryan is a respected leader at our club and a true Hawka!
