HAWKS MAJOR SPONSOR SHOUTOUT CRITERION HOTEL, WESTON!

From all of us at the Abermain-Weston Hawks, we want to give a massive shoutout and a heartfelt THANK YOU to the team at the Criterion Hotel for backing our club and being such an important part of our Hawks family.

We know how much it means to have local businesses get behind local footy, and we’re genuinely grateful to have the Criterion Hotel standing alongside us. Your support helps our club keep moving forward, gives our players the backing they need, and helps keep our local footy community strong.

Sponsorship is about more than a name on a graphic it’s about people, community and supporting each other. We’re proud to partner with a local business that helps make a difference, and we really appreciate the support you show our club.

NOW, HAWKS FAMILY, LET’S RETURN THE SUPPORT!

Next time you’re catching up with mates, heading out for a meal, or looking for a great local spot for a drink, get down to the Criterion Hotel in Weston. Take your family, bring your mates, enjoy what they have to offer and show them some Hawks love!

Let’s make sure the businesses that support our club feel that support coming right back from our players, families, members and supporters.

Once a Hawk, always a Hawk. Let’s support those who support us!
