SATURDAY SCOREBOARD | PRACTICE MATCHES

A full day of senior club practice matches for the Hawks at both Millers and Tormore.

The Women’s teams had a really good hit out with Park Orchards, who came out on top in both games. Plenty to like with the new recruits and rookies coming up from Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club – Juniors & Auskick.

The Men’s teams took on Premier Division’s Vermont with a great win for the Dev. Team to welcome new coach Danny to the club. The 19’s and Seniors went down but it was great to see the young blokes seize their opportunity and show the supporters that the way ahead is looking bright.

Thanks to Park Orchards and Vermont and to all volunteers today!
