The following is a letter to Hawks Chief Executive Ian Robson, from Clinton Kennon Grandson of Hawthorn's first President.

Dear Ian,

Just writing to congratulate you and the rest of the Hawthorn Football Club for the magnificent result on Saturday. Still trying to belive we are Premiers. It was a great day and the family are very proud of the Club and the Players. I along with my Uncles and Aunty got to the game and were very emotional when the final siren sounded. A great effort by all.

I will be there on Saturday night and will hope to catch up to say Gday and shake your hand on a wonderful few years rebuilding our Great Club. Go the Mighty Hawks!!

Premiers 2008....That's what l'm talking about!!


Regards,

Clinton Kennon
Great Grandson of JW Kennon
