From the President

Very proud to be part of Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club today with three teams booking their place in the Grand Final.  Well done to all the boys, the coaching and support staff.  Well done to the volunteers who put all the pieces in place behind the scenes.

So often local football clubs are measured by winning premierships but the feeling amongst the Hawka faithful today after those wins showed how succesful this club already is.  This week is for everyone who’s put in the hard work over the years so our boys (and girls) can go out and have a kick.

We’re one club and we are all in this together. Win, lose or draw next week I’m so proud of this club and everyone associated with it. GO HAWKA.

Scott Nicholas, Senior President, Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club

What a brilliant year for Hayden Landy!

What a brilliant year for Hayden Landy! Early in the season he was given the honour of being appointed as captain of the @boroniahawks Under 14’s. He went on to lead the team to a sensational Premiership victory, the Club’s first Under 14’s flag since 2003! Hayden then won the Club’s Under 14’s Best and Fairest, joining an outstanding list of former winners including Deacon Kimmitt, Mason Storr, Harvey Chinn and Harry Burgess. To top it all off, Hayden was last night night announced as runner-up in the Under 14D EFL Best and Fairest!

Congratulations on a great season Hayden. We can’t wait to see you in action for the Hawka in the coming years!
