PLAYER SPONSORSHIP | SOPHIE STARK

We are proud to have John Cunningham of JTC Aqua Maintenance onboard as the official player sponsor for another exciting new recruit, Sophie Stark!

Sophie has been recognised with EFNL Team of the Year honours in 2023, 2024 and 2025, back-to-back club Best and Fairests with Coldstream, and capped off last season by claiming Best on Ground in the Division 3 Grand Final, and taking home the Division 3 EFNL League Best & Fairest. “Freddy” is a tough, hard working left footer who has no problems finding the football.

We are grateful to have John and his business on board for the first time. We love seeing the community get behind our latest signings! Need expert maintenance services? Support those who support the Hawks! ? Email: jtc-aquamaintenance@gmail.com

Welcome to the team, Sophie and John!


PRACTICE MATCH 1 | DONE AND DUSTED!

It was a handy hit out as our Women’s Squad completed their preseason camp with a six quarter match against Beaumaris on Sunday at Seaford.

Hot conditions prevailed so the game was cut short but the Hawks were able to get a good run in. New players across Senior and Development teams were able to have their first hit out in brown and gold and we’re excited for our next practice match on 21 March!

Thanks to Beaumaris for the game and to Goodyear Autocare Boronia for supporting our teams!


PLAYER SPONSORSHIP | CADHLA SCHMIDLI

We are stoked to have John Schmidli and SCAD DESIGN back on board sponsoring Cadhla Schmidli for 2026.

Cad is a powerhouse for the Hawks: 2025 Leadership Group, 16 goals in 14 games, Premier Team of the Year, R/U for the Ellen Johnson Medal, all in her debut season. She’s the real deal, and so is her sponsor!

If you need a product idea turned into reality, from concept to manufacturing, John and the team at Scad Design are the B2B specialists you need. Check them out:

WELCOME TO BORONIA | INDI MAKAI

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Indiana Makai has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Indi joins us from Warragul Industrials in the MPFNL, after also spending three years with Casey Demons in the VFLW. Indi was also part of the Gippsland Power talent pathway and represented Vic Country at the National U18 Championships. After missing the 2025 season through injury, we’re excited to see Indi back on field, and in brown and gold this season.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | PAIGE DEANE

The news we’ve all been waiting for… We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Paige Deane has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Deaneo is a Senior Premiership player at Boronia, and finished last season by celebrating her 50th club game. Playing mostly up forward and across the middle, Paige uses her speed and penetrating kick to hurt the opposition in transition.

The Big Dog has continued to develop in each of her first three seasons of Senior footy, while serving as Assistant Coach for our Under 18 Girls. We can’t wait to see Deaneo back in brown and gold next season.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | MADS MAUCHLINE

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Mads Mauchline has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Mads made a huge impact in their first year at the club playing across Development and Senior sides. A smart, physical, rebounding defender who reads the play well, Mads has very quickly become a huge part of our program taking home the player-voted Spirit of the Hawk Award last season. We are excited to see Mads back in brown and gold next season playing, and also coaching amongst our junior program.

Jemima joins us after finishing top four in the U18A goal kicking last season, finishing with 20 for the year as part of Blackburn’s premiership winning team. Jemima has previously represented Oakleigh Chargers at U16 level and we’re excited to see her step up in her first year of senior football. We look forward to having Jemima and her family in brown and gold this year and beyond.


WELCOME TO BORONIA | ZOE WRIGHT

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce Zoe Wright has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Zoe has had an accomplished junior career, amassing over 150 games, SMJFL interleague representative, Oakleigh Chargers U16s program and St. Kilda Next Generation Academy. Zoe is coming off back-to-back club Best & Fairests, can play key position or around the ground, and is a very exciting prospect for the future. We’re excited to see Zoe and the Wright family in brown and gold this year!
