Seymour 15 - Swans 56


The Shepparton Swans are always a well-oiled outfit, and it proved to be a tough start to the day for the Lions, who were forced to play catch up after a big first quarter.

Eden Webster was the stand-out player on the court, leading from the back with strong defensive pressure in the ring and great transition out of defence.

Sophie Butterworth showed her versatility, playing at both ends of the court, and used her speed and height to feed the ball to Isabel and Ivy.

While it was a tough encounter for the Lions, there will be plenty of lessons learnt and some great opportunities to work on a better performance next week against the Bears.

Seymour 24 - Swans 62


The Lions got out of the blocks quickly with a great first quarter and silky passages of play, and they were right in the game at quarter time.

Unfortunately, a 20-goal second quarter from the Swans put Seymour on the back foot and in a difficult position to recover from.

The midcourters came back after halftime with plenty of drive, supported by a defensive team that worked well under pressure.

The last quarter saw the Lions bring a stronger overall team effort, with the goalers working tirelessly to make the most of their opportunities.

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.

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
