Seymour 11.9.75 def Rochester 5.1.31


The Reserves kicked off the season against Rochester, who gained the upper hand in last year’s preliminary final against the Lions.

It looked like it was set to be another close contest with Rochester taking a slender lead into half time.

After the break, the Lions came out energised and managed to keep the Tigers scoreless for the rest of the game while piling on seven goals of their own.

Nic Davey made a fantastic return, finishing best on ground in a great all round performance.

Tyler Clarke and Sam Fuhrmeister also impressed around the ground while Jay Eager was a strong presence from the first bounce.

Cam Osmond and Jack Radford were impressive in their debut games for the Lions, proving a deadly combination.

Will O’Sullivan had the crowd in raptures with his return to the game, displaying great forward craft.

A superb start to the season for the Reserves.


Best: N Davey, T Clarke, J Eager, S Fuhrmeister, C Osmond

Seymour Club Seniors

Seymour 5.10.40 def by Rochester 18.11.119

The Lions knew they were in for a tough match against a strong Rochester outfit and so it proved to be.

The first quarter saw the Lions’ best effort of the match with a couple of goals and Rochester only holding a four point lead.

Tom Jeffrey bagged his first goal for the Lions early on, with Lucas Cavigan and Lachy Giles doing likewise later in the day.

Rochester put the game to bed in the second quarter kicking seven goals while the Lions were held goalless in the third term before eventually going down by 79 points.

Nic Quigg worked hard all day in the middle alongside Jack Murphy and in great news for Lions fans, Dylan Cook played a solid game in his return to senior footy.

New recruit Lachy Beattie fought hard down back while Lucas Cavigan put his best foot forward on debut.

A tough day for the Lions who will be looking to bounce back at home next week.


Best: N Quigg, J Murphy, L Beattie, D Cook, L Cavigan
Goals: N Beattie 1, L Cavigan 1, L Giles 1, T Jeffrey 1, O Munro 1






Seymour FNC News

By Mitch Itter June 22, 2026
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.”
