Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is thrilled to announce the appointment of SEAN BUNCLE as our new Head Coach of the Senior Women’s team for the 2025 season. Sean brings an impressive resume and a wealth of experience from the highest levels of women’s football, most notably his successful tenure as coach of the Port Melbourne VFLW team, where he led them to the 2023 VFLW Premiership.
With a deep understanding of the game and a proven track record of success, Sean’s arrival marks a significant step in the continued growth and development of our women’s football program. His leadership and insight, gained from a number of years coaching at the elite level, are expected to further elevate the Boronia Hawks’ standing within the local women’s football community.
Sean Buncle’s coaching journey is underpinned by a passion for developing players and fostering a successful and respectful environment and culture. His success with Port Melbourne in guiding them to the 2023 VFLW premiership is a testament to his coaching acumen and his ability to bring out the best in his teams. We are confident that his expertise will be instrumental in driving our Senior Women’s team to further heights in the coming seasons.
“I’m honoured to be appointed as the new senior women’s coach of the Boronia Hawks. There’s a great sense of pride in the program within the community, and I look forward to building on the fantastic work that has put it in such a strong position. I’m looking forward to working with the talented group of players here and building on the strong foundations already in place.”
The club would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the incredible contribution of SCOTT NICHOLAS, our outgoing coach. Scott has been the driving force behind the establishment, growth, and success of our women’s football program—a program that is now the envy of many clubs. His dedication and vision have created a platform that has attracted a coach of Sean’s calibre, and for that, we owe Scott an immense debt of gratitude.
Scott leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered for years to come. His leadership has played a pivotal role in making our women’s football program one of the most respected in the competition, and his impact on our women’s football program will be felt for years to come. Scott will be continuing to support our Women’s Program in a new role that will be announced very soon.
As we look toward the 2025 season, the Boronia Hawks are excited about what the future holds with Sean Buncle at the helm. His appointment represents not just a new chapter, but a continuation of the commitment to growth, development and excellence that has defined the Boronia Hawks Senior Women’s program from its inception.
Boronia Hawks is always open to welcome new female players to our program. We offer two senior women’s teams, one 35+ Masters team and Under 18’s. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Sean or Scott at boronia@efnl.org.au
