WORLD’S GREATEST SHAVE | JOFFA!

Posted on 26 May, 2024 by Dave

One of Boronia Hawks most lovable characters, amazing volunteer and passionate Vets player Geoff “Joffa” Bell will be taking part in this year’s Worlds Greatest Shave to raise money and awareness in the battle against leukaemia.

With arguably the best mop of hair currently gracing ovals in the EFNL, he will shave it all off this Thursday night in front of a packed Hawka clubroom if everyone can dig deep enough.

Please support this bloke by chipping in a few bucks or whatever you can. If you can’t make it up to the club on Thursday night you can help Joffa by making a donation online by clicking on this link.

Headspace Community Cup

Posted on 20 June, 2023 by Dave

On Saturday, our Senior Men played The Basin at Batterham Park for the Headspace Community Cup.

Like all games against our local rival The Basin, the game was played in great spirit with our boys prevailing in the very windy conditions.

Both teams gathered post-game to hear from both Coaches on the importance of reaching out if you are experiencing a personal crisis.

If you are a player, coach, volunteer or supporter please reach out to a friend or teammate and let them know you need help.

Please check out our Club Wellbeing Hub or contact Lifeline 13 11 14 or visit Headspace CLICK HERE.

COVID-19 Message from Scott Nicholas

Posted on 5 August, 2020 by BoroniaHawks_Dave

Everyone around Victoria is currently in lockdown under Stage 4 restrictions. We all have a responsibility to do the right thing regarding the restrictions; we also have a responsibility to each other to stay safe, stay connected and stay positive.

We know a lot of our players, coaches, volunteers and families have already been impacted mentally and financially because of COVID-19, and many more will face hardship because of the new restrictions.

Let’s remember why this is in place, to ensure we all stay safe and healthy.

There has been a lot of discussion regarding mental health and wellbeing, and it’s a fantastic reminder for everyone with the Boronia community to prioritise their mental health.

Please look after yourselves, check in on each other, and be sure to connect with all of the great mental health services if you’re struggling to cope. You can check some out on the Wellbeing Hub on the Boronia Hawks website.

While many of us will face difficulties over the coming six weeks, there are some who may be is a less fortunate position and may struggle for basic necessities or a roof over their heads. If anyone from within the club is concerned about another club member please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know.

We are in this together, and we will get through this together.

GO HAWKA.
