Posted on by

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that the four players who made up the 2023 Leadership Group for the Women’s Development Team have all re-committed for the 2024 season. Please join us all in thanking Darcy Langford, Erin Nicholas, Caity Goldsack and Gen Lyons for their commitment to the Hawks.

After winning the Development Squad Best & Fairest in 2022, Darcy was appointed Captain of the Development Team in 2023. A fierce competitor who now has over 68 games played for the brown and gold, Darcy is excited for a big pre-season and 2024!

Erin has been part of the fabric of the Devlopment Team since joining in 2018, recognised as Players Player (Development Team) in 2022. A leader within the team for the past few years, Erin has now played over 50 games for the Hawks!

Caity joined the Development Squad leadership group for the first time in 2023, highlighting her consistency and work ethic. Caity has played down back and on ball over the past couple of seasons and is looking to take her game to another level in 2024.

Gen has been a key player for the D Squad over the past few seasons, and has continued to develop her skills and knowledge of the game during this time. After getting a taste of Senior football in 2022, Gen stepped up into the role of Vice-Captain for the Development Team in 2023 and we’re excited to see her back in brown and gold next season.

Posted on by

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce the recommitment of two of the break out players from the 2023 Premiership season. Please congratulate Rach and Quirky.

Rachael Slater is one of the EFNL’s best young talents and almost capped off the perfect season in 2023 finishing with Blue Ribbon Medal in the Grand Final, a Premiership medallion, a second consecutive Ellen Johnson Medal and finishing second in the league Best & Fairest. Rachael is powerful, aggressive and only getting better and we can’t wait to see where she takes her footy in 2024!

Rach Quirk’s combination of athleticism, fierce attack on the ball and willingness to do all the 1%’s to make the team better added a huge amount to the squad in 2023. Finishing third in the league Best & Fairest and named Ruck in the Team of the Year, Quirky will only keep getting better!

Boronia Hawks are very happy to announce the recommitment of three of our team leaders from the 2023 Premiership season for the upcoming 2024 season. Please congratulate Bree, Ali and April.

Boronia’s inaugural Senior Premiership Captain is a smart, reliable defender with great skills and leadership who generates a lot of our attack from defence. Bree is already putting in a big pre-season ready to build on the success of last season, in 2024!

Our hard running Centre Half Back took a big leap in 2023 developing her skills and fitness spending more time in the midfield and expanding her game. Ali has been named in the Team of the Year in 2022 (Premier) and 2023 (Division 1) and still getting better!

April had her best season in brown and gold in 2023 on the back of a HUGE pre-season. Her ability to run all day, matched with size and strength allowed her to play big roles on some of the competitions best forwards.

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!
