$16,000 raised for Breast Cancer Network Australia

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.”

The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) will celebrate a significant milestone this weekend, with Senior Co-Coach and Captain Jack Murphy set to play his 150th senior game for the Lions. Since making his senior debut in 2015, Murphy has established himself as one of the premier players in the Goulburn Valley League. Over the past decade, Murphy has built an outstanding football resume. A dual Senior Best & Fairest winner, GVL Interleague representative, League MVP and former Coburg VFL player, he has consistently performed at an elite level while representing the Lions with distinction. While his individual achievements are impressive, Murphy's influence extends far beyond the football field. Renowned for his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to the club, he has played a significant role in driving standards and helping develop the next generation of Lions players. Now serving as Senior Co-Coach, Murphy continues to lead from the front each week and remains one of the competition's most influential midfielders. SFNC President Peter Elliott said Murphy's contribution to the Lions over the past 11 seasons has been remarkable. “Murph has been an outstanding servant of our football club and thoroughly deserves this recognition,” Mr Elliott said. “His achievements on the field are exceptional, but it's the way he goes about it that sets him apart. “He's one of the hardest workers at the club, a fantastic leader and someone who is so passionate about the success of the Seymour Lions. “He's represented our club with distinction throughout his career and continues to set the standard both as a player and coach. “To reach 150 senior games is a fantastic achievement and one that both Murph and everyone associated with the club should be proud of. “We're incredibly fortunate to have had Murph at Seymour for so long and look forward to seeing him continue to make an impact in the years ahead.”
