Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very pleased to announce that Luke Biddau has been appointed to the role of Auskick Co-ordinator for 2018. Luke will lead Boronia Auskick Centre to a new era as it moves to Friday nights at Tormore Reserve for the 2018 season. He will also play a very active role in implementing a series of footy clinics at local schools to open up the opportunities for boys and girls to learn their footy with the Hawks.
Luke is actually a former Auskicker himself, developing his skills up at Chandler Park before moving on to Boronia Juniors. After a stint in the hills with Olinda-Ferny Creek, Bidds returned to Tormore Reserve as a senior player in 2013. Known as a dangerous forward, Luke has kicked 42 goals over the last few seasons, which would have been many more except for the curse of nagging injuries.
Luke is a great match-up for the role of the Club’s Auskick Co-ordinator given his working background with Knox Leisureworks and as a youth leader at summer camps in the U.S.A. Bidds has also been an assistant coach with Boronia Juniors in recent seasons, working closely with Craig “Fletch” McKenzie. In 2018, Luke is once again working hard from the sidelines as Assistant Coach for the Boronia U17’s.
Please join us in congratulating Luke on his appointment that will lead to an exciting new phase for Boronia Auskick and will underpin the successful footy pathways with Boronia Hawks.

A very big thank you to everyone who was able to come along today for our Volunteers Information Day. We had a great representation from the juniors and seniors and it is really encouraging to see our One Club coming together so well.
Thanks to Greg Hannon, Matt Clark and Steve Teakel for talking to the group and giving us an insight into their own backgrounds. They also talked about the great pathway they see at the Hawks in bringing our talented juniors through to senior football as One Club.
Thanks as always to Ellen Johnson for her catering and to Boronia Cricket Club for the use of the rooms during the off-season.
