Congratulations and Thank You LMac

BHFNC wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to LACHIE “LMAC” McKERNAN who has decided to step away from leading our senior men’s team after 5 years at the helm.

LMac has been an inspirational leader, setting high standards and being the perfect role model for our younger group of talented players who have been coming through our ranks.

A premiership captain, L Mac’s legacy is the younger leaders at the club who now know what it takes to be an effective and meaningful leader at the BHFNC. Our Club is most grateful to Lachie and we hope his playing career continues to shine and he stays injury-free so that his impact is still felt for a few more seasons to come!

Greg Hannon, SENIOR PRESIDENT, BHFNC

Knox City Council Supports Boronia Hawks

Posted on by


Boronia Hawks welcome the tremendous news that Knox City Council has voted on Monday night to waive annual fees for all not-for-profit community organisation for 2021. In short, we won’t pay for the use of our two grounds and pavilions again in 2021.


Council has provided enormous support to Boronia Hawks and similar sporting clubs through their COVID-19 Community and Business Support packages over the last two years. Such support is incredibly valuable as the local community emerges from the wellbeing and mental health impact of lockdown.


Local sporting clubs are important community hubs and we extend our gratitude to Yvonne Allred – Councillor for Baird Ward and Mayor Lisa Cooper – Knox City Council for their generous support in helping us to do what we do best – bring people together for health, friendship and wellbeing.

Scott Nicholas
CHAIRPERSON, BHFNC

2021 PLATINUM SPONSOR: Hawks Nest Coterie Group

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very proud to announce the Boronia Hawks Nest Coterie Group as a Platinum Sponsor. We thank them for their generous contributions and support to the Club for the 2021 season.


The Coterie has been an integral part of the Club for many years, not only contributing to on- field success, but a range of off-field projects including the recent investment in gym equipment, and most importantly, as part of the fabric and culture of the Club.

We look forward to utilising the funds for the 2021 season to help develop our Junior Program for young boys and girls through the subsidies of FREE REGISTRATION FEES, and contributions for our Senior Men’s Program.

Thank you again to Coterie Chair, Robert Kimmitt and the whole Coterie Group. We look forward to another successful year in brown and gold.
