The Senior Committee of Boronia Hawks FNC is very proud to confirm that the Club will be fielding an Under 19’s team in the 2025 season and beyond. After a few seasons without a team, we couldn’t be happier that we will once again return to one of our traditional strengths – a well managed and coached program to develop junior players in to strong and capable senior footballers.
The resumption of the Under 19’s program will facilitate a pathway from our Under 17’s so that our players can remain true to the One Club ethos of the Hawks. Both teams will work together closely under the banner of the HAWK SQUAD to ensure a consistency of learning and game planning. At the same time, we will be welcoming new players to the Club who will recognise the great opportunity to develop their game at a club with a strong record of high performance and some of the most outstanding facilities in the league.
Meet the 2025 Squad – updated as players commit to the Hawks.
2025 Coaches for Boronia Under 19’s
The club is absolutely delighted to announce our 2025 Under 19’s Coaching Team – three outstanding people in their own right with excellent records of achievement as footballers. LUKE HANNON will be our Head Coach, supported by two Assistant Coaches in JOSH BEGLEY and JAYDEN COLLINS. They will be tremendous role models for our young players. We are also excited to have the very experienced TIM DRISCOLL appointed as the 2025 Under 17’s coach.
Luke Hannon is currently Playing Assistant Coach with our Senior Men’s team. He is an experienced PE Teacher and has a tremendous football CV: TAC Cup Premiership player; Eastern Ranges B&F; former VFL Casey player; twice BHFNC Seniors B&F; twice premiership player at BHFNC. He plays both mid and forward and has great coaching attributes.
Josh Begley made a huge impact as an Eastern Ranges player which saw him drafted to Essendon Football Club where he played 17 senior AFL games before moving to Frankston VFL. He was a BHFNC senior premiership player in 2023 and has kicked over 50 goals in 2024. Begs is very capable and experienced as a dominant mid or forward.
Jayden Collins is a PE Teacher and also has an impressive football record as an Eastern Ranges player, representing Vic Metro, and then with VFL experience at Northern Blues. He is a dual premiership player at BHFNC and has won our Senior B&F. A huge presence in defence or up forward.
We thank the three players for their ongoing commitment to the Hawks. We also thank Wayne Judge and Ash Johnston for their continued hard work to reestablish our Under 19’s program.
