“We’re a family travel business, with a strong sense of community. We live, work, study and play in Melbourne’s east. We’re fiercely independent, but align ourselves with Helloworld Travel Ltd. This means we control our own destiny, but have the ability to draw on the scale and buying power of Australia’s leading integrated travel business. Put simply, this gives us access to the same travel products, deals and prices as the franchises who spend millions promoting themselves. We’d rather make sure we give our clients the best travel deal possible”.
Hawks Nest Coterie Group has provided magnificent support to the football club for many years. A few years ago they also started supporting our Junior teams and now we are very proud to announce the Coterie is providing financial support to our Women’s Football Program through Player Sponsorships.
Four of our leading players have been selected as the public faces of this new partnership. We thank Robert Kimmitt and Leanne Rech from the Coterie committee for their willingness to embrace the support of the Women’s Program, particularly this season in Premier Division.
Boronia Hawks is incredibly proud to see that Ali debuts in Round 1 for @darebinvflw against Williamstown.
This is how Darebin Falcons announced Ali’s selection:
“An incredible story of persistence and a never give up attitude this one! The club is pleased to announce the signing of Ali Gottliebsen for Season 2024, with Ali also making her debut this weekend against Williamstown! Ali has had an excellent pre-season who has developed and grown with every session. A versatile defender who will always give her very best effort at every contest. We can’t wait to see Ali make her mark this weekend in her VFLW debut!”
Congratulations to ALI GOTTLIEBSEN who has been officially listed by DAREBIN FALCONS for the 2024 VFLW season.
Ali has gone from strength to strength in only three seasons of footy with Boronia Hawks. Her attacking run and strong marking are features of her game and we are all incredibly proud of her determination to improve her footy. Well done Ali G and best wishes for this exciting challenge.
Boronia Hawks are very happy to announce the recommitment of three of our team leaders from the 2023 Premiership season for the upcoming 2024 season. Please congratulate Bree, Ali and April.
Boronia’s inaugural Senior Premiership Captain is a smart, reliable defender with great skills and leadership who generates a lot of our attack from defence. Bree is already putting in a big pre-season ready to build on the success of last season, in 2024!
Our hard running Centre Half Back took a big leap in 2023 developing her skills and fitness spending more time in the midfield and expanding her game. Ali has been named in the Team of the Year in 2022 (Premier) and 2023 (Division 1) and still getting better!
April had her best season in brown and gold in 2023 on the back of a HUGE pre-season. Her ability to run all day, matched with size and strength allowed her to play big roles on some of the competitions best forwards.
