What a fantastic year for one of our newest sponsors to jump on board!
In 2023 we welcomed FTG Community Bank as a GOLD sponsor of our club. Apart from much needed sponsorship funds the bank played a big part in the development and purchasing of our new hoodies as well as Grand Final banners for our junior teams. 

If you are looking for a change from the big 4 or just wanting some financial advice, Community Bank Ferntree Gully can help you pick the right solutions for all your banking needs.

Thank you, Eve, Tina, and the team at Community Bank FTG for your enthusiasm and support in 2023.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL COACHING PANEL

Congratulations to the Coaching Team for our Women’s Squad at Boronia Hawks who have all contributed so much to the 2023 Division 1 Premiership.

They have created a close-knit environment for our players to develop their footy, fitness and friendships.

A special shoutout to Ray Lacey and Scott Nicholas who have been leading the team since our startup in late 2017, preparing for our first season in 2018. Who would have thought a premiership would result only a few years later when it took half a season to score the first goal!

Congratulations and thank you to Coach Scott Nicholas and assistants Ray Lacey, Brad Slater, Candyce Wright, Erin Stanios, Jordan Granland, Lachy Watson, Nicole Guy and Tim Cavanagh.

50 GAMES | STACEY PONTON

Posted on by

Congratulations to Stacey Ponton as she plays her 50th Game for Boronia.

Pont has been one of the most skilled players our Women’s Squad has seen since she started towards the end of our inaugural year. Spending time at both ends of the ground, Pont has spent the majority of the last few seasons at half back.

Her great football IQ, ability to read the play and penetrating kick saw her finish Runner Up in the D Squad Best and Fairest in 2021, before playing mostly Senior football since.

Congratulations Pont!
