EFL Divisional Structure in 2019

The EFL has recently advised the Clubs of the EFL Divisional Structure for 2019.  Boronia Hawks will be in Division 2, which is still the third division in the competition following the introduction of Premier Division.  We will have a Final Four series for the right to win the premiership and promotion to Division 1.  

Boronia will be joined in Division 2 by the bottom two teams of last year’s Division 2 – Mulgrave and Mitcham,  Meanwhile the bottom 6 of our 2018 opponents will drop to the new Division 3.  

“The new Competition structure is contained below and outlines which Clubs are in which Division for Season 2019.  In the 10 Team Competitions (Premier and Division 1), the Top 5 sides will play finals and in the 8/9 Team Competitions (Division 2, 3, 4) the Top 4 sides will play finals.  Promotion and relegation will continue to operate as per previous years with the Premiership winning clubs being promoted to higher divisions and clubs who finish on the bottom of the ladder being relegated to lower divisions where applicable.”

 

Boronia Hawks Players & Coaches Recommit for 2019

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce to our loyal members and supporters that all twenty-two players from our 2018 Premiership side have now re-signed for the 2019 season. In addition, we are delighted that our coaching panel have all recommitted to the Club as we move into Division 2.

Football Operations Manager, Ash Johnston, said that this is a huge vote of confidence in the Club’s future and that the players realise the opportunities that lie ahead as they go forward together as a group. With lots of talent coming through from Fletch’s Football Factory in the Under 17’s and Under 19’s, as well as the successful programs with Auskick and Junior footy, the Club is well set for the future.
