BORONIA HAWKS FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB INC.
Senior Men's & Women's Football and Netball, Junior Boys & Girls Football, Auskick and over 35's Veterans and Masters Football. Affiliated with EFNL. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land in Boronia.
Boronia Hawks Men’s playing groups have officially locked in their Leadership Groups for the season ahead. Chosen by their teammates, these leaders represent what the club is all about—commitment, accountability, and leading by example both on and off the field.
