Boronia Hawks are absolutely delighted to announce that the Club successfully applied for an Active Club Grant from Vic Health to assist in the launch of our Women’s Football Team in 2018.
The Active Club Grant has assisted the Club to start our team from scratch by advertising for players and then equipping the girls with jumpers, footballs, training tops and so on.
As you all know, our team is now competing in Division 2 of the Eastern Region Womens Football League, a competition that is absolutely booming with new teams. The Hawks have a core team of 26 girls, with only a couple having played footy before. Some well known Hawka families are represented in the team, emphasising how the team is already embraced as part of the Boronia football community.
Success is not always measured by the scoreboard, as the girls are loving their footy and the Club could not be prouder of their team spirit and determination to learn, play and develop. We are very lucky to have Ray Lacey and Scott Nicholas, two Hawks greats in their own right, providing their wealth of experience as Co-Coaches for our inaugural team.
The Active Club Grant was made available to support clubs to implement initiatives that will engage more women and girls in sport. Almost half as many women take part in organised sport compared to men, and women are most likely to stop playing sport as teenagers. There is more momentum in female sport than ever before, but Vic Health recognised the need to offer more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in sport at the community level.
Congratulations to Scott Nicholas for his successful grant application. Once again, many thanks to Vic Health for their support of the Boronia Hawks Women’s Football Program.

This was a highly anticipated game of football with Boronia taking on the visitors from Thornton-Eildon in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Tormore Reserve. Both teams struggle a bit up forward, so the game was set to be tight. The Hawks welcomed Lina Kabris to the team for her first game and were also very pleased to have Briar Forrer-Lacey back in action after her return from China the night before the game! We had a strong lineup this week despite missing three key players in Sam Mellis, Kat Buzinskas and Lana Kitteringham from the previous game.
The first quarter was intense, with lots of hard footy as the ball rebounded up and down the ground. As always, Rhiannon Smith and Phoebe Lacey were working hard in the last line of defence; Candyce Wright, Charmaine Chu on the outer side and Jess Buzinskas and Tegan Doran on the members side of the ground were all keeping busy and racking up possessions. Chloe Timms was doing well in the ruck. Both teams were here to play, but Thornton-Eildon snuck through for a goal against the run of play. Only seven points down at quarter time and there was a sense that the Hawks were right in this one.
The Hawks attacked relentlessly in the second, with Amanda Davidson, Dee Caiafa and Briar driving the ball forward. Amanda Cellante even took two bounces as she dashed through the guts! Then it happened – the opposition lost their structure under pressure and the ball spilled free to Brynie Kinniff who pounced on the loose ball in the goal square and scored the historic first goal for the Hawks! The girls mobbed each other to celebrate the goal and the crowd erupted with cheering and applause as the wild scenes continued on-field! Co-coaches Ray Lacey and Scott Nicholas embraced on the bench as Sam, our runner for the day, ran on to the field and jumped up and down in jubilation! Back to business though as Thornton-Eildon lifted their game to lead by 21 points at half-time.
The third quarter saw more hard yakka around the packs. Enter Bec Allen and Courtney Storen who both thrive with the hard ball gets, while Darcy Flanagan and Alix Penny kept up the tackle pressure. The deeper bench of Thornton-Eildon meant that fresh legs were now making an impact at the scoring end as they ran the ball forward to create more opportunities, taking them to seven goals. Did the Hawks have enough in the tank to run out the game?
Dee Caiafa was on fire in the last quarter, taking one memorable run of 30 meters without a bounce, but also carving up the back line to break through for a behind soon followed by a team-lifting goal! It now seemed that the girls saw their chance as the forward line came alive with Stacey Peril, Jasmine Lacey and Karen Little getting dangerous and creating opportunities. Amanda “Davo” Davidson and Jess Buzinskas were playing tough footy in the final stanza, locking the ball in to our half. Courtney and Chloe both took strong contested marks inside 50 but found the big sticks were elusive with the tricky breeze.
The Hawks were down by 41 points when the siren went, but the whole side had played their best footy for the season. With a number of players back soon, including Demi Thomas, the signs are good if the consistent approach to training continues. The whole Club was buzzing after the game and the girls won a lot of friends amongst the Hawk supporters watching them for the first time.

Our Boronia Hawks Women’s Team thoroughly enjoyed their recent training session with Malcolm Bangs, a specialist tackling coach! Malcom runs a Tackles and Takedowns program that combines AFL tackling with judo principles and balance techniques. We were very fortunate to have Malcolm come down to work with the girls, and we are very grateful for his time. The feedback from the girls was very positive, and they continue to enjoy all their skills sessions with Senior Womens Coach, Ray Lacey.
Malcolm has extensive experience including clients such as Geelong FC (AFL), Carlton FC (AFLW), Werribee FC (VFL), Melbourne Uni WFC (VFLW), Calder Cannons FC, Eastern Ranges FC (TAC Cup / TAC Cup YG). He can now add the mighty Hawks to his resume! Be sure to check out Malcolm’s feeds on Twitter and Instagram at @malcolmbangsTT
