2023 PREMIERS | U16 GIRLS

Another huge congratulations to our U16 girls for taking out the 2023 Premiership against SBL/Mitcham. What an incredible effort to hold their composure after a draw at full time, going on to win the match during extra time. You have worked so hard this season to earn this reward!

A shout out to all the parents, friends and volunteers who have contributed to the girl’s success this year, including their coach Danny Weston, Assistant Coach Chloe Timms, Team Manager Alex Toomey, Runner Amanda Cellante and the rest of the Women’s Squad who have enjoyed training with the girls at times throughout the season and turned up in great numbers to support the girls.

A very special thank you to our jumper sponsor Awesome Conveyancing for their ongoing support of our junior program and our club as a whole.

Also, a big thanks to Eve John from Bendigo Bank FTG Community Bank Knox Group for organising banners for each of the finalists!

50 GAMES | STACEY PONTON

Posted on by

Congratulations to Stacey Ponton as she plays her 50th Game for Boronia.

Pont has been one of the most skilled players our Women’s Squad has seen since she started towards the end of our inaugural year. Spending time at both ends of the ground, Pont has spent the majority of the last few seasons at half back.

Her great football IQ, ability to read the play and penetrating kick saw her finish Runner Up in the D Squad Best and Fairest in 2021, before playing mostly Senior football since.

Congratulations Pont!

BHFNC is excited to announce that Damon Fairchild and Jayden Collins have both re-signed for the 2024 season.

Damon Fairchild is a 2018 senior premiership player and has rarely been out of our best players in season 2023. As a classic utility player who is dependable and consistent; he adds class to any Hawka lineup!

Jayden Collins, also a 2018 senior premiership player, is a former Bob Henry Medalist and top-class Centre Half Back of the competition who is rarely if ever beaten by a big forward.
