The year 2011 was a standout year for the Hawks, as they clinched premierships in the League, Reserves, and Netball divisions.

Many Hawks players have also received individual recognition for their exceptional performances. Notable winners of the SWFL Fairest and Best Hayward Medal include Michael Merritt (1966), Ross Tyson (1976 & 1977), Peter Ivanoff (1981), Richie Lee (1985 & 1986), Justin Cook (1990), Jeremy Humm (2012), Mitch Lynn (2018), and Simon Moore (2021).
