Get ready, Hawks fans – Saturday is set to be an EPIC day of footy at Box Hill City Oval, with TWO massive matches lined up!

VFLW: ELIMINATION FINAL

Box Hill Hawks vs Essendon
Bounce: 11:35AM

Our VFLW team are in finals mode and ready to leave it all out on the field. After a huge season, it all comes down to this, win and we keep the dream alive. Lose, and it’s curtains closed. Let’s pack the stands and bring the noise for our girls as they battle it out against a fierce Essendon side.

VFL: 1ST VS 2ND – A TOP-OF-THE-TABLE SHOWDOWN

Box Hill Hawks vs Footscray
Bounce: 2:05PM

It’s 1st vs 2nd, and the ladder is on the line. This is more than a game – it’s a statement. We’ve been building all season for this moment. The Footscray Bulldogs are coming in hot, but we’re ready to show them who rules the perch.
