Today we saw our youngest footballers sharing the stage with our senior men’s team to commemorate the ANZAC Round. BY SAMANTHA DUNKINSON
” A match day experience that started with the traditional AFL ANZAC ceremony with the seniors. Followed by the first quarter huddle and coach address. Then an anxious and exciting wait to play in a half time grid match. Our fresh faced junior footballers led by our senior players were so still and respectful. Then they cheered their player on until it was time to play. And play they did. What an amazing day for all who were part of this amazing experience”.
“Thankyou to the senior coaching staff and players for making our up and coming future Hawks feel the love and support of our amazing “one club”. Thanks also to all the parent helpers today. So good !!!!!!”
Sammi D and Alix Penny
Congratulations to the four players awarded ANZAC Day Medals in their respective games.
Thank you to Platinum Sponsor, STEVE SHILLINGTON and BORONIA McDONALDS Player Sponsorship of HAYDN STANLEY for the 2024 season.
Haydn may be out injured at present, but when he is back he will bring another dimension to the Hawka midfield. After missing the 2023 Premiership, Haydn’s strength around the ball will be a huge boost to the team as we build throughout the season.
Thank you to DANNY FOTINATOS and KNOX LEISUREWORKS for Player Sponsorship of RYAN WHITE for the 2024 season.
Whitey went straight from Under 17’s to seniors, winning his first of two Bob Henry Medals in 2016 in his first season. Fun Fact: he completely bypassed Under 19’s and has never played Reserves. An outstanding footballer for the Hawks.
