They're always big matches between Euroa and Seymour and this was no different.
The Magpies came out strongly in the first quarter with six goals, leaving the Lions with plenty of work to do.
While the Lions dominated play in the second quarter, some inaccurate kicking meant Euroa’s lead largely remained heading into half time before extending their lead by two goals at the final break.
The last quarter saw a much improved effort from the Lions, bringing the deficit under two goals before they ran out of time to make up for a slow start.
It was great to have Tom Maloney back from injury, putting in a typically dominant performance.
Nathan Beattie and Jack Murphy continued their solid midfield form on Murph’s birthday while Tom Martin and Nathan Fowler showed determination, playing important roles at either end of the ground.
Off to Deakin next week to get back on the winner’s list.
