LIFE MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

On Saturday night, the Boronia Hawks Football & Netball Club had the immense honour of inducting two absolute champions of our club as Life Members — Nathan Allen and Greg “Flash” Hannon.

Nathan Allen – A true Hawka through and through. From his beginnings as a Junior Hawka, Nathan has gone on to play over 250 Senior Games, making him one of the club’s most loyal and respected servants. Off the field, he’s served on the Committee and dedicated his time to nurturing our future stars through Auskick coaching in recent years. A role model, a leader, and a legend — we couldn’t be prouder of the person and clubman Nathan is.


Greg “Flash” Hannon – A powerhouse of passion and leadership. Flash pulled on the brown and gold in 186 Senior Games, later taking the reins as Senior Men’s Coach for 3 seasons. But his biggest impact has been as President for the past 7 years, guiding the club through the most successful era in our 90+ year history. Flash’s commitment, vision, and love for the Hawks have left an indelible mark on the club.


Please join us in congratulating Nathan and Flash on this richly deserved honour. Their dedication to the Boronia Hawks has been nothing short of inspirational.
