Boronia Hawks FNC is thrilled to announce the signing of TOM GASPARRONI for the coming seasons. Tom played most of his junior footy at FTG, where he won a club B&F and was part of a premiership side.

Tom played seniors for FTG from 2021-2023, having a breakout start to the last season before being sidelined with osteitis pubis. He took this year off from footy to recover from the injury, in the hope of making a full return for 2025. Please make Tom feel very welcome at Boronia!

Boronia Hawks FNC is proud to announce that STEVE TEAKEL and DREW O’HARE have recommitted to roles as assistant coaches with the senior men’s team for the 2025 season. Together with our Senior Coach, Matt Clark, we believe this to be an extremely strong coaching panel. Steve and Drew are enormously respected within the club and throughout the league.
Steve’s experience, his level headedness and his football knowledge built over so many years of involvement at a local level makes him the perfect foil for Matt Clark. The two men are close friends, they have coached together for many years now and complement each other. Teaks is an absolute asset to our club and we hope he has many more years of coaching involvement at the ‘Hawka.’
Drew has been a respected and admired coach at Boronia for many, many years and is a Life Member of the Club. One of the most passionate and committed of Boronia people, Drew brings a wealth of football and club knowledge to the table and we are so grateful for his continued service to our club.
Please join us all in thanking Steve and Drew for their loyalty and commitment to the Hawks.
