SQUAD UPDATE | EMILY WELLINGTON & MACKENZIE SUPPA

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is very pleased to announce the first of our new players for the 2024 Senior Women’s squad. Emily Wellington has joined the club to play with her former teammate Mackenzie Suppa, who has also signed up for the new season. Please join us all in welcoming Em to the Club and thanking Macka for her commitment to the Hawks.

We’re excited to welcome Emily Wellington down to Boronia after last playing with Blackburn in Under 18 Premier. Em has been training the house down before Christmas and impressed with her skills, attitude and training intensity. We can’t wait to see her in brown and gold in 2024.

Macka is back on board for season 2024! One of our most skilled and exciting young players, Mackenzie joined the Hawks in 2023 and showed a great football IQ and goal sense in three games, but missed time due to injury throughout the season. The sky is the limit and we can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store!

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that another of our premiership players has re-committed for the 2024 season. Please join us all in thanking Joan Dekker for her commitment to the Hawks. 

Joan joined Boronia in 2023 and had immediate impact for our Senior team. After playing most of her football in defence, Joan excelled in the ruck with her athleticism, run and tackling pressure adding a lot to our midfield. We can’t wait to see Joan’s development continue in 2024.

A Xmas Message from Flash

Posted on by

Dear Players, Members and Supporters,On behalf of my Senior Committee, I’d like to wish you all a safe and enjoyable Christmas with family and friends.


This year has been most memorable indeed. Two Senior Premierships are feats most clubs can only dream about! At ‘The Hawka’, we do dream, we dream big, but we then do!

Thank you to the magnificent players who donned the Hawka jumper in 2023. You all made us proud! Thank you to the coaches, trainers, and tireless volunteers who work behind the scenes to enable our club to function effectively, and thank you to our supporters who turn up week in and week out cheering loudly and giving our players the 5% extra support over the opposition which can at times win us matches.

I had the pleasure recently of spending a weekend away with some lifelong Boronia mates talking about just how fortunate we have all been to have been associated and connected with our club. We were all grateful for the friendships and experiences we have all shared together, some good, some not so good but we still enjoy a catch-up after 40 years!! This is what our club can offer, does offer, and will continue to offer!!

We will continue in the off-season to enhance our playing lists, plan the intricate design details of the new pavilion, and detail our social calendars for season 2024!

Once again, enjoy your well-deserved break and we’ll see you all next season! Wishing you all a safe and Happy Xmas!!!
