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

 


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.”
