Seymour 16 - Tatura 36


The round one opener at Tatura gave us plenty of wet weather and a soaked court, leading to plenty of short balls. Sophie Butterwoth stood up in the attacking end, leading with strong drives and positive turn overs. Showing her versatility she flipped to the defensive end, ending with intercepts and rebounds. Ivy Watson and Ruby Fletcher followed with strong pressure across the court and helping in transition. Overall the wet weather ruled and we couldn’t get the job done. Lots of positives to take away from the game.

Seymour 53 - Tatura 12


The Lions put on a clinical performance to get the win in the B Reserves. Mia Allen was strong on the ball and provided plenty of movement in the ring alongside Toni Bootland in her first game for the club.

Ashlyn Webster combined well with Toni to ensure plenty of rebounds from the defensive end, well supported by Casey Drummond’s pressure to bring the ball into the goalers.

Seymour 50 - Tatura 52


It was always going to be a tough Round 1 match-up against the classy Tatura outfit and so it proved to be.

Courtney Aldous provided great pressure off the centre pass and through the defensive third.

Ally Black showed her class in her first game for the Lions, communicating and moving well with Ellie Fuhrmeister. Both girls benefited from great midcourt work from Rosie O’Sullivan and shot well.

Ruby Martin made a fantastic return at the other end of the court to where she last was at The Den.

In a close tussle, Tatura got out to a six-goal lead partway through the final quarter, which the Lions started to claw back through strong whole-court pressure before being beaten by the siren, coming with the Lions two goals down.

A great first up game from the girls.

O’SULLIVAN BUILDERS B RESERVE Seymour 38 def Rochester 24 The first quarter started with great intensity as the momentum swung back and forth. The Lions had a terrific second quarter and changes helped the team push just in front at the main break. Confident shooting from Shona Gesler, Chloe Locke and Mia Allen added scoreboard pressure. Grace Barry was doing a thankless task at keeping her opponent limited. Well done girls on booking your spot in the Grand Final! Seymour Hardware Group B GRADE Seymour 43 def Euroa 42 The whole game both teams were evenly matched. The Lions went into the second half of the game five goals down. With a few changes late in the game the Lions were able to get the upper hand and win by a goal. Our pressure in defence was amazing. Everyone did a great job. See you in the Grand Final next week! Beer Auto Group Seymour A GRADE Seymour 34 def by Euroa 73 The match began with a thrilling exchange of goals, as both teams showcased their determination. Euroa quickly capitalised on the Lions' early misses, establishing an early lead. In response, the Lions implemented a catch-up strategy, making early substitutions to utilise their bench effectively and minimise the damage. Despite their efforts, Euroa demonstrated their status as the reigning Premiers of 2024. Sarah Szczykulski was a standout in defense, working tirelessly to thwart Euroa's advances, while Ally Black excelled in the midcourt, delivering precise passes to Ruby Martin. Martin showcased her shooting skills, converting opportunities with remarkable accuracy. Although the Lions faced a heavy loss, which was not the desired outcome for the conclusion of the 2025 season, there is optimism for the future. The development of the younger players within the squad offers hope that the Lions can emerge as strong contenders in the GVL moving forward.

O'Keefe's IGA Seymour Reserves Seymour 6.5.41 def Mansfield 4.4.28 After a tough defeat against Kyabram last week, the Reserves were ready to take advantage of their second chance to book their place in the Grand Final. Mansfield had the wind advantage in the first quarter, making plenty of the play but they were held goalless by a determined Seymour backline. In the second term the game remained even, with neither team able to gain the upper hand before Seymour took the lead late in the third, a lead they did not relinquish for the remainder of the game. Curtis Powell was dominant through the middle of the ground, backing up his ball winning prowess with a couple of crucial goals. Alex Elliott continued his solid finals form with another strong performance, while Nick Dundon provided run and carry all day, driving the Lions into attack. Down back, Scott McMaster and Sam Fuhrmeister repelled countless Mansfield entries, intercept marking at will, with McMaster running hard of half back. A great win ahead of a massive rematch against Kyabram in the Grand Final.  Best: C Powell, A Elliott, N Dundon, S McMaster, S Fuhrmeister Goals: C Powell 2, J Davey 2, W Le Deux 1, J Radford 1
