RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | RACHAEL QUIRK

We’re excited to announce our Senior Captain Rachael Quirk has re-signed for the 2026 season.

Quirky is hard working, humble and an absolute force on ball. Part of our 2023 premiership team and named in the 2023 Division 1 Team of the Year, Quirky is a fierce defensive presence and explosive in the contest. Off field, she’s led our squad incredibly well in her first season as Captain and exemplifies the Hawka Spirit.

Quirky also celebrated her 250th game for Knox Raiders this season, and recently was a member of the winning team in the NBL1 South Grand Final. To perform at this level across two sports is phenomenal and speaks to the hard work that Quirky puts in behind the scenes.

We can’t wait for another year of Quirky in brown and gold in 2026.


HAWKS NEST COTERIE GROUP | WOMEN’S FOOTBALL PARTNERSHIP

Hawks Nest Coterie Group has provided magnificent support to the football club for many years. A few years ago they also started supporting our Junior teams and now we are very proud to announce the Coterie is providing financial support to our Women’s Football Program through Player Sponsorships.

Four of our leading players have been selected as the public faces of this new partnership. We thank Robert Kimmitt and Leanne Rech from the Coterie committee for their willingness to embrace the support of the Women’s Program, particularly this season in Premier Division.


RECOMMITTED FOR 2024 | SLATER and QUIRK

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce the recommitment of two of the break out players from the 2023 Premiership season. Please congratulate Rach and Quirky.

Rachael Slater is one of the EFNL’s best young talents and almost capped off the perfect season in 2023 finishing with Blue Ribbon Medal in the Grand Final, a Premiership medallion, a second consecutive Ellen Johnson Medal and finishing second in the league Best & Fairest. Rachael is powerful, aggressive and only getting better and we can’t wait to see where she takes her footy in 2024!

Rach Quirk’s combination of athleticism, fierce attack on the ball and willingness to do all the 1%’s to make the team better added a huge amount to the squad in 2023. Finishing third in the league Best & Fairest and named Ruck in the Team of the Year, Quirky will only keep getting better!
