SUMMER NETBALL SEASON WRAP! Presented by Knox Club

The EFNL Summer Netball season ended last night with five Grand Finals. Although our two teams missed finals they still had very successful seasons with 29 players taking the courts to represent the club.

Congratulations to MEAGHAN EDMONDSON as top goal scorer for Boronia Hawks with 96 goals and to CHELSEA DUNKINSON who cracked the ton with 124 goals for Boronia Gold. Congratulations also to the ever reliable SARAH ALEXANDER who played all 12 games for Hawks, and is without doubt one of our most loyal players.

A very big thank you to our Netball Manager, ALISHA CLARK for getting our teams organised for the season and a special thanks to SAMANTHA DUNKINSON, our new Vice President of Women’s Programs, for her passionate support of the teams throughout the season. We can all now look forward to the Winter season for more Netball action!

WELCOME TO BORONIA | DARCI WATT

A very big welcome to Darci Watt, joining the Hawks for her first season of senior football! After playing some junior football at The Basin, Darci is back and has been training the house down so far. Already improving with each week of training, we’re excited to have Darci join our squad and be part of the brown and gold this season!


HAPPY NEW YEAR to the Boronia Hawks Family!

We wish the very best of health and happiness in 2025 for all our players, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, members and supporters. 2024 was a ripper but we look forward to a whole new chapter in the coming year! Take care – we’ll see you all again very soon!

WELCOME TO BORONIA | DARCY JAMIESON

Boronia Hawks FNC is very excited to announce that DARCY JAMIESON is joining our Under 19’s team for 2025.

Darcy has a great football CV already. He played interleague football with the EFNL in Under 14’s and 15’s and finished top five in the League B&F’s in both years. He has one Under 15’s premiership under his belt. He went on to Eastern Ranges for Under 16’s and Under 18’s in 2024. Darcy was invited to the Under 16 Vic Metro trials and has spent time with the Hawthorn Next Generation Academy. Darcy has also done very well with school football, having won the B&F at St Joseph’s twice.

We welcome Darcy and his family to the club and really look forward to watching him grow as a footballer.


BORONIA HAWKS | DOING OUR BIT

Our charity partners Knox Infolink sent in a nice text message to ABC Radio Melbourne yesterday when they were talking about sporting clubs and the community work they do.

A really great listen with Richelle Hunt and Paul Kennedy on the ABC’s The Conversation Hour-Why Sporting Clubs Matter. Here’s some footage from Wednesday night and a snippet of the story.

PAVILION REDEVELOPMENT | TORMORE RESERVE

Knox City Council will meet on Monday 9 December to consider the appointment of a contractor to construct the Tormore Reserve Pavilion, home to the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club and Boronia Cricket Club.

Boronia Hawks FNC is extremely grateful to Knox City Council for their support of this project. We also wish to thank Mary Doyle MP and Jackson Taylor MP for their ongoing assistance in bringing this new facility to a reality.

“The works include partial demolition of existing pavilion and construction of a second storey addition, complete refurbishment of retained ground floor, and construction of a new crossover and entry road from Tormore Road, as per the endorsed Masterplan 2016”.

“The existing Tormore Reserve Pavilion was built in 1976, and is now considered not fit for purpose, as it only provides makeshift gym and first-aid areas, no dedicated female change rooms and amenities, nor DDA facilities apart from an outdated accessible toilet”.

“The new facility will comprise of four (4) change rooms and amenities, umpire change rooms, first aid rooms, a social / multipurpose room, meeting rooms, offices, storage space, a kitchen and cafeteria, and a bar”.
