THANK YOU | DAVE O’REILLY AND RAY LACEY

Boronia FNC would like to thank Dave O’Reilly and Ray Lacey for their contributions to our women’s football program as the outgoing coaches of our Masters Women’s team.

Both Dave and Ray have had long histories at the club, and over the past few years have played an important role in our Women’s Masters team. While they’ll both still be around the club and supporting the program, we will miss them on the sidelines with the Masters and their impact will be felt for many seasons to come.

We’re excited to have announced last week that Danny Weston has been appointed to coach the Masters for season 2026.


Meet the New Masters Coaches at Boronia Hawks

Boronia Hawks FNC is delighted to announce that taking the reins on another season for our Masters side will be Ray Lacey and Dave O’Reilly. These two have been a huge part of Boronia’s programs for women and girls since its inception in 2018.

Ray was one our inaugural Senior Women’s coaches, coaching the Seniors for three seasons before becoming our inaugural Development coach in 2021. His legacy at Boronia continues to grow off field, adding to his EFNL and Club life memberships, three Bob Henry medals, two Senior Premierships and club record for games played!

Dave continues in the role after supporting Stacey Peril in our first Masters season in 2023. Dave has played a key role in supporting the squad on game day and at training, assisting in the development of many of our players who are new to the game. Dave has previously coached some of our junior girls teams as well, highlighting his contribution to the program.

We’re excited to have Ray and Dave at the helm for our Masters team, now in its third season! The Squad is growing and still looking for more players for the 2025 season! If you’re interested in getting involved please contact the club on boronia@efnl.org.au.
