Seymour 21.13.139 def United 2.3.15


It was a one sided contest from the first whistle with United only able to score one goal in each half of the game.

The Lions showed why they’re a contender come September with some sensational passages of play.

Lachlan Beattie made a successful return after some time away, dominating through the middle of the ground and combining well with Joel Durham in the ruck.

The tall timber got the job done at both ends of the ground with Ollie Munro working well across half back and Jack Radford extending his lead at the top of the goal kicking charts with a big bag of seven goals.

Curtis Powell and Taiten Thomas played with determination to round out the best players in a fantastic all round performance.

Seymour Club Seniors

Seymour 17.14.116 def United 8.8.56


The Seniors game followed a similar pattern to the Reserves with the Lions dominant from the first contest, leaving the result beyond doubt from very early on.

The Lions only took the foot off the gas in the final term, allowing United to add some respectability to the scoreline.

Jack Murphy racked up plenty of possessions in the midfield alongside his partners in crime, Nic Quigg and Nathan Beattie who were able to stay focused, dominating their direct opponents.

Cooper Holdsworth-Rose again showed why he’s a start of the future with his incredible athleticism and fantastic reading of the play.

Riley Mason was a class above with five majors, supported well up forward by Nathan Fowler and a very lively Max McLean, who both kicked three goals each.

The Lions will be back on the road next weekend to take on Tatura, looking to put another win on the board.


Best: J Murphy, N Quigg, N Beattie, C Holdsworth-Rose, R Mason
Goals: R Mason 5, N Fowler 3, M McLean 3, J Peris 1, D Davis 1, N Beattie 1, L Lubeck 1, N Quigg 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.”
