PREMIERSHIP CUPS ON TOUR | Community Bank Ferntree Gully

What a fantastic year for one of our newest sponsors to jump on board!
In 2023 we welcomed FTG Community Bank as a GOLD sponsor of our club. Apart from much needed sponsorship funds the bank played a big part in the development and purchasing of our new hoodies as well as Grand Final banners for our junior teams.
 

If you are looking for a change from the big 4 or just wanting some financial advice, Community Bank Ferntree Gully can help you pick the right solutions for all your banking needs.

Thank you, Eve, Tina, and the team at Community Bank FTG for your enthusiasm and support in 2023.

100 GAMES | LUKE HANNON

Congratulations to Luke Hannon who plays his 100th game of senior football for the Hawka in this weekend’s semi-final.

A former Eastern Ranges premiership player, captain and best and fairest winner, Luke has also had a similar impact at Boronia.

A senior premiership player in 2018, a two time Bob Henry Medalist and current vice captain and assistant coach, his impact has been profound!

Well done Luke and all the very best in your next 100 games for our club!


2024 RE-SIGNINGS | FAIRCHILD & COLLINS

BHFNC is excited to announce that Damon Fairchild and Jayden Collins have both re-signed for the 2024 season.

Damon Fairchild is a 2018 senior premiership player and has rarely been out of our best players in season 2023. As a classic utility player who is dependable and consistent; he adds class to any Hawka lineup!

Jayden Collins, also a 2018 senior premiership player, is a former Bob Henry Medalist and top-class Centre Half Back of the competition who is rarely if ever beaten by a big forward.
