Assistant Coach (Senior – Forwards) We’re thrilled to have Nicole Guy back on board in 2025 as an Assistant Coach.

Assistant Coach (Senior – Backs). We couldn’t be more excited to announce Bree Watson as one of our Assistant Coaches for 2025. Bree is a natural leader who has begun her Coach Development as Captain of the Senior squad, and has naturally played the role of guiding and supporting our backs over the last few years. Bree will continue her learning taking on more responsibility with the backs this season.

She has been a fixture in the backline but did sneak forward for one memorable goal in 2022! Bree is very proudly supported by Phil Watson and Complete Sports Services.


PLAYER SPONSOR | COMPLETE SPORTS SERVICES

RECOMMITTED FOR 2024 | WATSON, GOTTLIEBSEN & GLARE

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.
