The Box Hill Hawks recorded victories for both their VFLW and VFL sides in a double-header against Port Melbourne in Bass Coast, with each team undefeated before the round.

Hawks Secure Double Victory

These wins strengthen the position of the Box Hill Hawks Football Club heading into the later stages of the season. The results came on the road in Bass Coast and reflect consistent performance from squads that started the round without a loss.

Soccer and Cricket Campaigns Continue

Box Hill United FC took part in Round 8 of the 2026 Senol NPLW Victoria against Spring Hills FC after posting a 1-0 result over South Melbourne in the prior fixture. In cricket, the Box Hill Brumbies began their first season in the Hawkesbury District Cricket Association, where the Under-10s side sits second after recording six wins from eight matches.

Athletic Club and Oval Project

The Box Hill Athletic Club ended the 2024 cross country and road racing season in fourth place in both the men’s and women’s premier divisions and collected 9 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze medals. Separately, the Box Hill Hawks Football Club and Box Hill Cricket Club have agreed management terms for the $28 million Box Hill City Oval redevelopment, with construction scheduled to begin in October 2025 and finish in 2027.

Supporters of Box Hill clubs can follow ongoing matches and track progress on the shared facility as the 2026 winter and summer seasons develop. The management agreement between the football and cricket clubs provides a framework for the site once works reach completion.
