SENIOR DEBUT | CAELAN MURRIHY

The moment has finally arrived. Caelan Murrihy will run out for his first Senior Men’s game for the Boronia Hawks against Mooroolbark.

Caelan is the definition of a Hawk. From joining the Under 10s back in 2007 to captaining the Under 19s, he has shown unwavering commitment every step of the way.

This milestone comes in his 266th game for Boronia, a testament to his loyalty, dedication, and passion for the club. The Murrihy family are lifelong Boronia people, and seeing Caelan take this step is a proud moment for them and the entire Hawk community.

100 GAMES MILESTONE | JAKE MELLIS

This week we celebrate a huge milestone for one of our finest, Jake Mellis, who runs out for his 100th senior game in the brown and gold! After a decorated Junior career, as a Captain and Under 19 David Murrihy Medallist, Jake has excelled in his Senior career to date.

A 2023 Premiership Player and always a true team-first Hawka. Whether it’s shutting down an opponent or standing tall in big moments, Jake always leads by example and puts the team first. Jake is a much loved & respected teammate off the field.

The Mellis name continues to build a proud legacy at the Hawka – and hitting the ton is another proud chapter in an already incredible career. Congratulations Jakey.


50 GAMES | KIERAN EDWARDS

Kieran has been a vital part of the Hawks since joining in 2023, kicking an impressive 47 goals along the way. He played a key role in our senior premiership victory in 2023 and has smoothly transitioned from a forward to a hard-running wingman.

Known for his relentless work ethic, Kieran contributes both offensively and defensively, often tracking back to help in defence and pushing forward to create scoring opportunities. Beyond the field, Kizza’s lively personality and good humour make him a standout teammate, greatly contributing to the strong culture at the Hawks.

Here’s to many more games and successes ahead for Kizza!
