MILESTONE: JEREMY MASON – 100 GAMES

This Saturday is a big day for the club when we celebrate Jeremy Mason as he runs out for his 100th game for Boronia Hawks against Wantirna South – his original junior club.

Jez joined the Hawks in 2019 from East Ringwood and made an immediate impact, becoming an integral part of our 2019 Reserves Premiership side and earning his first senior nod that same year. After a rock-solid 2021 campaign in the Development Squad as a crucial piece of “The Fortress”, Jez enjoyed a massive breakout year in 2022, playing 17 senior games and cementing his reputation as a reliable, versatile defender. Able to play at CHB or provide run off the back, he doesn’t mind being thrown forward for a couple of goals either.

We are proud to have Jeff Mason and Masbuild on board as player sponsor for Jez. Check them out at www.masbuild.com.au

Get down to support the Hawks this Saturday, and let’s give Jeremy the loud, proud Hawka support he deserves when he leads the boys out!
