We are incredibly proud to announce a partnership that features half a century of Hawka history! A massive thank you to Life Member and Veterans’ games record-holder Greg Krenn and GK Travel + Cruise for their ongoing support as the Player Sponsor for Jarrod Lake.

Lakey’s record at the club is nothing short of legendary—a triple premiership player and our unofficial Full Back of the Century. To have him supported by a stalwart like Greg shows the deep bonds that make this club what it is today. ??

Thank you, Greg, for your incredible loyalty and for everything you’ve given to the Brown & Gold!

PLAYER SPONSOR | ALI GOTTLIEBSEN

Posted on by

We are very pleased to announce that premiership player ALI GOTTLIEBSEN will be sponsored for the coming season by long-time sponsor and Life Member GREG “Hollywood” KRENN and GK Travel + Cruise.

“We’re a family travel business, with a strong sense of community. We live, work, study and play in Melbourne’s east. We’re fiercely independent, but align ourselves with Helloworld Travel Ltd. This means we control our own destiny, but have the ability to draw on the scale and buying power of Australia’s leading integrated travel business. Put simply, this gives us access to the same travel products, deals and prices as the franchises who spend millions promoting themselves. We’d rather make sure we give our clients the best travel deal possible”.

RETIREMENT OF CLUB LEGENDS | THE KRENN BROTHERS

Posted on by

At Tormore Reserve on Friday 28th of July, the Krenn Brothers, Greg and Colin laced up their boots and donned the Brown and Gold to take the field for the very last time.

Colin and Greg Krenn

The word legend gets bandied around quite a bit these days, but these guys definitely fit the mantle of Club Legends. With their dedicated service, they have undoubtedly made a significant impact on this proud football club, and their contributions will be remembered for many years to come.

Colin Krenn

It’s not uncommon for players who have been with a club for a long time to become ingrained in its culture and history, and the Krenn brothers are no exception. Their commitment and passion for the Club through playing, coaching, sponsorship and being on various Committee’s over 35 years have been inspiring to both their fellow teammates and the club’s many supporters on the hill.

Greg Krenn

As they step away from the playing field, it’s essential to acknowledge their invaluable contributions and express a great deal of gratitude for their dedication.

Football clubs are more than just teams; they are communities, and players like Hollywood and Stick play a vital role in shaping the culture and spirit at BHFNC.

While their playing days at Boronia may be coming to an end, their impact and influence will continue to resonate within the club. Their legacy will live on through the memories and experiences they shared with their teammates on and off the field and the positive influence they have had on everyone at the Hawka. We have and continue to be blessed by having them around.

As they move on to the next chapter of their lives, I’m sure all Boronia Hawks club people will always hold a special place in their hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing and playing with them.

Here’s to Greg and Colin Krenn, wishing them all the best for the future and thanking them for the incredible contributions they’ve made to the Boronia Hawks.
