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.
Since around 2014, the Boronia Hawks FNC and our great rivals up the road, the Basin Bears, have proudly battled it out for the Headspace Community Cup โ all in support of raising awareness for mental health.

Last year, the Senior Womenโs teams battled it out and prior to that the Seniors Menโs teams did for many years.

This year, itโs the turn of our ageing Menโs Vets teams who took centre stage under lights at Batterham Reserve on Friday 17th April at 7:30pm. Plenty of passion, a bit of friendly rivalry, and a whole lot of heart as they played for bragging rights and a great cause.

Headspace is Australiaโs National Youth Mental Health Foundation, supporting young people aged 12โ25 with early intervention mental health services. Itโs an important reminder that no one has to go it alone.
So get down to Batterham Reserve, bring your mates, and support the old boys in what promises to be a fantastic night of footy for an even better cause.
If youโre doing it tough, reach out โ to a teammate, a friend, or someone you trust. You can also visit headspace.org.au or contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

A big thank you to Hawka player Dylan Dower for the donation of the Grow Club Australia Hoodies for the best player from each team.
Boronia Vets are getting excited for Round 1 this Friday Night – the local derby against The Basin.

We have added some new boom recruits – Atkinson, Azzopardi, Jordan, Lowerson & Rabie – to support the club legends like Bell, Millwood, Joy, Wood and Silverback!

We are absolutely stoked to welcome Darren and The Boatramp Cafe as a player sponsor for the legendary Geoff Bell!

If youโve been around the club, you know Joffa. A former Clubperson of the Year, a stalwart of our Vets team, and consistently one of the first blokes to roll up his sleeves when thereโs hard yakka to be done. Itโs fantastic to have a local gem like The Boatramp Cafe backing a club legend. Whether youโre looking to sit back and watch the waves or grab a quick bite on the go, Darren and the team have you covered with the best beachfront vibes:
The Food: Dig into a full cooked breakfast or grab their famous Deluxe Breaky Burger.
The Treats: Freshly baked muffins (Choc, Blueberry, Raspberry & White Choc, or Apple & Cinnamon) and savory bacon & egg muffins with hash browns.
The Drinks: Wonderful coffee, thick milkshakes, and the perfect hot chocolate for the kids.
The View: Relax, chat with friends, or take a stroll along the jetty while enjoying the salt air.
Support the businesses that support our club! Head down to the beachfront and say g’day to Darren.
Location: The Boatramp Cafe Beachfront
Vibe: Relaxed, friendly, and delicious.

Thank you to MACEY RYAN and MCR ELECTRICAL for Player Sponsorship of GEOFF BELL for the 2024 season.

“Joffa” has now racked up 31 games for Boronia Vets, and can always be relied on for 100% effort. The same can be said off-field where Geoff is one of our most dedicated and hard working volunteers, always lending a hand at Auskick and at match days. A great club man.
