UNDER 18 GIRLS | 2025 AWARDS

Huge Congratulations to KATE BOURKE on claiming the 2025 U18 Girls Best & Fairest. This is Kate’s third B&F trophy since coming to Boronia for U14 girls in 2022. Well done Kate, we look forward to seeing the extraordinary impact this talented, courageous player will have in the seasons to come!


BOLTS STEPS DOWN | JESS BOLTON

Club great, Jess Bolton has made the difficult decision to step down as our Development Coach for the 2026 football season.

Jess, who coached his team into a preliminary final only last week, will leave a significant hole to be filled by the club. As a playing coach, which is always a challenging role, Jess supported, guided, and improved our development players during his two-year tenure.

BHFNC sincerely thanks Jess for his efforts over the past two seasons, and we know it’s not goodbye, as another chapter in the BHFNC relationship with Jess will evolve as we never let great people like Jess just disappear.

The good news is that Jess will continue to play in the brown and gold and will continue to bring strong game sense and enormous experience to emerging players as a 200+ game player and dual Bob Henry Medallist.

Also, our sincere appreciation goes to Nathan Allen, who awarded his first namesake medal. Award winners will be announced shortly. Congratulations to all involved
