Janelle Puppa Real Estate UNDER 18s Seymour 9.2.56 v Mooroopna 8.2.50 Best: T Wardley, L Cavigan, D Davis, H Lane, C Holdsworth-Rose Goals: C Holdsworth-Rose 2, H Lane 2, T Thomas 2, R Kennedy 1, C Powell 1, H Hopp 1 O'Keefe's IGA Seymour Reserves Seymour 20.11.131 v Mooroopna 4.5.29 The Reserves dusted off the cobwebs in style in their last match before entering finals footy. While it was Joel Durham’s milestone game, his great mate Julian Morgan stole the show with an incredible display of forward craft, bagging 14 goals to put himself ahead of the pack in the league goal kicking table. It was a performance with plenty of highlights in front of goal, one on one wins and even some strong contested marking. A performance for the ages. While Jules was no doubt the star of the show, work further up the field allowed him to make the most of his opportunities. Tayte Lewis and Ian Porter stood up in the midfield, while Sam Fuhrmeister provided characteristic run and carry. The Under 18s boys did themselves proud with Joel Ryan kicking two goals and both Harry Martin and Lachlan Thomas among the team’s best. The 102 point win sees the Lions finish in fifth place, ready to make a splash in September. Best: J Morgan, T Lewis, S Fuhrmeister, I Porter, H Martin Goals: J Morgan 14, A Elliott 3, J Ryan 2, W Laird Seymour Club Seniors Seymour 20.11.131 v Mooroopna 6.11.47 The Lions came out ready to play in their final outing of the season, with conditions perfect for footy. The boys were on the back foot early but then took control of the game ten minutes into the first quarter and never looked back, putting nine goals on the board including a long bomb from Sam Thomson. From here it was all Seymour despite a slower second quarter. The game was put to bed in the third as Mooroopna failed to kick a goal while the Lions piled on six of their own. It was a similar story up forward with Riley Mason proving way too good for any opponent, booting eight goals and dominating the game. Around the clearances the Cats had no answer for Tom Maloney, who kicked two classy goals to go with plenty of footy, well supported by his midfield partners in Nathan Beattie, Jack Murphy and Nic Quigg who returned home to don the jumper again. A great performance to finish the year. Best: T Maloney, N Quigg, R Mason, N Beattie, J Murphy Goals: R Mason 8, J Murphy 2, N Fowler 2, L Lubeck 2, T Maloney 2, R Schraven 1, N Beattie 1, S Thomson 1, M McLean 1
