BORONIA HAWKS FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB INC.
Senior Men's & Women's Football and Netball, Junior Boys & Girls Football, Auskick and over 35's Veterans and Masters Football. Affiliated with EFNL. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land in Boronia.
Thank you to STEPHANIE RICH and STEPPH MAKES CAKES for Player Sponsorship of BRAYDEN MURRIHY for 2024.
Brayden continues the tradition of the Murrihy family at Boronia. A late comer to the game from soccer, he enters his fourth season at the club. A good engine and overhead marking ability will see Brayden continue to add to his games tally.
Thank you to LAURA HEALY and FIT FOR LIFE HEALTH & FITNESS for Player Sponsorship of EBONY MILLER for 2024.
Ebony really impressed from the outset when she joined the Hawks from FTG in 2023. In only her second season of football, Eb showed her skills, strength and determination, playing mainly across the backline. Definitely a player to watch this season as Eb will just keep improving with every game.
Thank you to GREG KRENN and GK TRAVEL + CRUISE for Player Sponsorship of RYLEE KRENN for the 2024 season.
Rylee is back for 2024 after injury restricted her last season. Not one to sit around, she earned a medal as runner for the Women’s Premiership team! Rylee is a versatile player, who is comfortable around the ground and can ruck when required.
Thank you to KRISTAN WOOD and ALLSTATE REFRIGERATION SERVICES for Player Sponsorship of NATHAN HARE for the 2024 season.
Harey is a medal magnet: Anzac Day, Blue Ribbon, Premierships, League Under 19’s. His pace, skills and goal kicking are all on display and there is no doubt he can play many more blinders for the Hawks in the years ahead.
Thank you to SAM JORDAN and COMPLIANCE ROOFING & PLUMBING for Player Sponsorship of LUKE FLANAGAN for the 2024 season.
Luke had a great junior career with the Hawks, before playing a bit of senior footy with UFTG. He was back to Boronia in 2023 and slotted nicely into the backline, resulting in a shiny premiership medal around his neck! Good skills and run will see Luke playing good footy with the Hawks for years to come.
Thank you to ANTHONY SQUIRE and COLLECTIVE ENGINEERING for Player Sponsorship of CHRIS McDONALD for the 2024 season.
Macca is a life long Hawka from 2005 to 2024, racking up 76 junior games, 49 in the Colts and 151 senior games. Quick and hard at the contest, we all love to see Macca taking down the opposition in big tackles. A couple of premierships in Dev. Squad already and he is looking for another.
Thank you to PETER BENNETT and BRITTON TIMBERS for Player Sponsorship of NATHAN ALLEN for the 2024 season.
There is no player more loyal to the club than Nathan Allen, who started in Boronia Auskick in 1997, before moving on to Boronia Juniors in 2000. 24 years and 300 odd games later, he has a hard earned reputation for playing good strong footy and for overcoming adversity with injury and illness. He has two Reserves flags to his credit; he has captained Seniors, Reserves and Juniors; he has won league B&F’s in 18’s and Reserves; he has served on committee and is a regular and reliable volunteer. Most importantly, he has the respect of everyone at the club.
Boronia’s Masters team took on last year’s premiers South Belgrave in a 14-a-side practice match on Wednesday night. A great game by the team from all reports, with a lot of support and team bonding already in place. Well done ladies! You will be up and firing with a full squad for Round 1!
Thank you to BRAD SANDERS and McKENZIE’S TOURIST SERVICES for Player Sponsorship of JULIE WELLS for the 2024 season.
Julie joins Boronia’s Masters Team for 2024 after previously playing for Box Hill North and Chirnside Park. She has also played in the AFL Masters Carnival in 2022 and 2023. Please welcome Julie to the Hawks!
BHFNC would like to invite all past premiership players of the past 15 years back to the club on the day of our Senior Men’s unfurling of their 2023 Premiership Flag.
Every player who has played in a premiership wearing our Brown and Gold jumper has indeed left a legacy worthy of celebrating once again! Lachie McKernan, our 2018 Senior Men’s Premiership Captain has the duty of unfurling our 2023 flag.
Please get down to the Hawka and support him on this auspicious occasion. The club will be putting on some finger food in the rooms from 1:00pm to 2:00 pm and then we all head outside for the unfurling of the flag.
So make an effort to speak to a former teammate, tell them about the function, and get down to the club for a great afternoon of local footy! Be There!!
