Janelle Puppa Real Estate UNDER 18s Seymour 6.8.44 def by Kyabram 8.8.56 Best: B McCarthy, Z Brown, H Thomson, D Davis, L Sainsbury Goals: R Kennedy 3, J Mansfield 2, H Thomson 1 O'Keefe's IGA Seymour Reserves Seymour 10.9.69 def by Kyabram 13.4.82 The undermanned Lions knew they were up for a tough test against the top of the table Bombers. Kyabram kicked five goals in the first quarter with Seymour struggling to move the ball forward. After the first break it was a different story with the Lions winning the final three quarters on the scoreboard and taking it right up to a high quality opposition. Unfortunately, the slow start left the Lions with too much to do, going down by 13 points. Will Le Deux was by far the best player on the ground, dominating around stoppages, finding space and kicking four goals from the middle. Cam Osmond won plenty of footy further up the ground while Joel Durham battled hard all day in the ruck without any respite. Sam Fuhrmeister took on a tough job down back and held his own, with Ollie Munro providing a target in the forward half of the ground. A big thank you to the Under 18s boys who stood up and filled in. Hugh Murphy kicked a great goal and Lachlan Donnelly completed a run down tackle for the ages. A great effort from the Lions who will be strengthened by some returning players after the bye. Best: W Le Deux, C Osmond, J Durham, S Fuhrmeister, O Munro Goals: W Le Deux 4, O Munro 2, J Mann 1, M Itter 1, H Murphy 1, J Badger 1 Seymour Club Seniors Seymour 7.8.50 def by Kyabram 20.16.136 It was always going to be a tough ask for the Lions against an undefeated Ky and so it proved to be. Seymour was right in the game early, gaining an early lead before going into the first break just 3 points down. From there it was all one was traffic with the Lions going down by 86 points. In some good news, Nic Quigg made a successful return, kicking a couple of goals to go with plenty of disposals. Lachlan Beattie was tenacious in the back half and even managed to kick his first goal for the Lions late in the day. His attack on the footy and tenacity was matched by Darcy Giles and Lachy Giles who played an important role through the middle of the ground. The Lions will be looking to bounce back against the Swans after a week off. Best: N Quigg, L Beattie, J Murphy, D Giles, L Giles Goals: N Quigg 2, N Beattie 1, R Schraven 1, C Lubeck 1, L Beattie 1, D Giles 1

The Seymour Lions’ annual Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) fundraiser, Sarah’s Day, has raised a phenomenal $16,000 for people affected by breast cancer, ensuring they receive the very best care, treatment and support. The day is an opportunity for the Seymour community to remember all those impacted by cancer and to honour the memory of Sarah Locke, a long-time and passionate Lion who lost her battle with breast cancer in August 2022. More than 150 people bought tickets to enjoy an afternoon of camaraderie, community and laughter, with raffle prizes donated by a range of local businesses. $8,000 was raised on the day, with the donation matched, ensuring $16,000 will go to support Australians with breast cancer. Seymour President, Peter Elliott, said the Club was once again blown away by the support shown by the community. “Sarah’s Day is a day everyone at our Club looks forward to. It’s a great chance to come together as a community and raise funds for an important cause,” he said. “We couldn’t be more grateful for the support provided by local businesses that donated prizes, and our incredible volunteers who organised the event. “Once again, Tatura Football Netball Club got behind the day in a big way, and we really value the bonds built with another fantastic Club. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone for making the day a success. We know these funds will make a big difference for people in some of their most difficult moments.”

It proved a difficult first term with Seymour trailing at the break before they flicked the switch and dominated the remainder of the game. Back to back four goal quarters through the middle of the game put the Lions in an unbeatable position at three quarter time, allowing the boys to wrap up a great win away from home. Sam Fuhrmeister stood above the rest to finish best on ground, taking crucial intercept and contested marks all day to provide drive from the defensive end. Cooper Lubeck and Regan Gardner were superb through the middle of the ground as Joel Durham continued his strong form in the ruck. In the forward line, Jack Radford kicked another bag of 5 goals, to see him sitting in a comfortable position atop the Reserves GVL goalkickers table. The Lions will now take on top of the table Kyabram at home this weekend.

A slow start in the first quarter saw the Lions give up a three goal advantage, one they worked hard at pegging back through the middle quarters. Despite dominating play in the third quarter, with 9 scoring shots to 3, some inaccurate kicking cost the Lions a chance to have their noses in front going into the final term. Echuca proved too good in the last, running over the top to claim the win. Nathan Beattie, Jack Murphy and James Wooster remained consistent, winning plenty of ball through the middle of the ground, while Lewis Lubeck worked up the field and played a strong game in his 50th for the club. Darcy Giles provided tremendous pressure around the ball, showing fantastic work rate. The Lions get the chance to put their best foot forward against the undefeated Kyabram at home this weekend. Best: N Beattie, J Murphy, L Lubeck, D Giles, J Wooster Goals: R Mason 2, W Le Deux 1, C Powell 1

Australian Trenching & Excavations UNDER 15s Seymour 26 def by Echuca 54 After a long drive up to Echuca bright and early, the girls were competitive in the second quarter and won the final term. The girls have worked hard on maintaining their consistency throughout full games. Sienna Lynch fed the ball into the ring all day, earning her the match award. Eva Hay took on feedback and implemented changes with great impact, shutting down Echuca’s WA who was a primary influence in their attacking end. Plenty of positives to take from the game. Trawool Shed - Cafe, Cottages & Restaurant UNDER 17s Seymour 38 def by Echuca 46 Paige Cooper was crucial in today’s game. Paige took some amazing intercepts and rebounded well. Taylah Mason had a tough three quarters in centre, running the middle of the court. Taylah set the pace and applied great pressure.

The first half saw an even contest with the Lions working hard to head into half time with a slender lead. While Seymour dominated general play, they were unable to fully capitalise on the scoreboard. After half time the Lions put on the after burners, kicking five unanswered goals in the final term in an impressive win. Cooper Lubeck and Will Le Deux were dominant through the middle, while Tyler Clarke was prominent across the ground. Joel Brooks played his best game of the season, well supported by Joel Durham who worked tirelessly in the ruck. The Lions will face a tough test next week on the road against Echuca.

Seymour was able to steady the ship in the second term before kicking four goals straight in the third to leave the game all square at the final break. Unfortunately, in a scrappy final term Rochester kicked the only goal to emerge victorious by 9 points. Nathan Beattie racked up plenty of possessions in the middle of the ground with Seamus Feery continuing his strong run of form in the ruck. Nathan Fowler provided a target up forward all day while the defensive duo of Lucas Cavigan and Tom Jeffrey played crucial roles in repelling forward 50 entries and driving the ball forward.

A whole team effort consisting of patience, persistence, effort and pressure got the young Lions the win.

Issy Gordon was a fantastic addition to the team, providing options and drive with Charlotte Bradley providing both solid holds and movement in the goal circle. Eden Webster, along with the defensive end were relentless in putting pressure over the ball and getting tips and turnovers.

In the second term, the Lions were able to obtain some breathing space in a five goal to one quarter. While Benalla had a chance to get back in the game, inaccurate kicking in front of goal was capitalised upon by the Lions who played a great final quarter in wet conditions. Jack Murphy and Nathan Beattie were ball magnets again, with Lachlan Beattie putting in a fantastic performance after missing last week through injury. Nathan Fowler provided a target up forward all day but yet again Rory Kennedy showed why he is a star of the future, booting three goals in another impactful game from the 16 year old.
