TWO MORE MILESTONE GAMES

A big shoutout to LUKE FLANAGAN who celebrates his 50th senior game for the Boronia Hawks in Round 14! Since returning back to the Hawka from Upper Gully where he took out the U19s Best & Fairest and Players MVP, Luke has been a key member of our senior lineup. He was an integral part of our 2023 and 2024 Premiership sides with his silkiness and composure across half back. Luke’s notched an impressive 88% win ratio from his 49 senior games at the Hawka, which is an outstanding achievement. He is an excellent team mate and comes from a great family. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Luke in the brown and gold!


Since joining the club in 2021 RACHAEL PARNES has been one of our most loyal and hard working players. Rach is one of our most consistent on the track, most determined on field and always looking to put her hand up to volunteer! Along side celebrating 50 Senior Games for Boronia (including three Senior games in 2021), Rachael has also played 19 in the Masters and 26 with Knox, taking her career games tally to 95! Congratulations Rach and looking forward to many more in brown and gold.

“We’re a family travel business, with a strong sense of community. We live, work, study and play in Melbourne’s east. We’re fiercely independent, but align ourselves with Helloworld Travel Ltd. This means we control our own destiny, but have the ability to draw on the scale and buying power of Australia’s leading integrated travel business. Put simply, this gives us access to the same travel products, deals and prices as the franchises who spend millions promoting themselves. We’d rather make sure we give our clients the best travel deal possible”.
