Australian Trenching & Excavations UNDER 15s Seymour 31 def by Tatura 44 The Under 15s put their highest score for the season on the board which was a huge positive. The defenders worked hard to gain turnovers and Eva Hay did well in her first defensive roll in the ring. Charlotte Bradley and Isabel Meller gave great options in the ring. It was good to see the girls putting their training into the game, giving depth options down the court. Keep up the good work girls! Canteen Award: Georgia Hadisutanto Inari Sushi Award: Charlotte Bradley Trawool Shed - Cafe, Cottages & Restaurant UNDER 17s Seymour 30 def Tatura 29 It was an absolute thriller in the Under 17s with the girls getting over the line by a goal. Kyra Pearce’s one on one pressure was unreal and created a lot of turnovers on centre passes and further down the court. She also sunk into circle defence and took some crucial rebounds. Lilli Kelly and Paige Cooper’s circle defence was relentless. The rebounds and communication between the two girls was crucial and played a huge role in the final result. O’Sullivan Builders Award: Kyra Pearce Whistle Award: Lilli Kelly Umpire’s Best on: Sophie Butterworth O’SULLIVAN BUILDERS B RESERVE Seymour 40 def Tatura 30 Shona Gesler and Olivia Pearce worked incredibly well in the goal circle, shooting with confidence. The defensive unit of Chloe Locke, Sarah Waite, Grace Barry and Casey Drummond caused mayhem for the Tatura attackers. Casey Drummond was solid through the mid court, taking intercepts and transitioning into attack. Rooks Pizza Award: Sarah Waite Club Dinner: Grace Barry Umpire’s Best: Sarah Waite Seymour Hardware Group B GRADE Seymour 71 def Tatura 31 The Lions got off to an awesome start.
