The Seymour Lions’ annual Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) fundraiser, Sarah’s Day, has raised a phenomenal $16,000 for people affected by breast cancer, ensuring they receive the very best care, treatment and support. The day is an opportunity for the Seymour community to remember all those impacted by cancer and to honour the memory of Sarah Locke, a long-time and passionate Lion who lost her battle with breast cancer in August 2022. More than 150 people bought tickets to enjoy an afternoon of camaraderie, community and laughter, with raffle prizes donated by a range of local businesses. $8,000 was raised on the day, with the donation matched, ensuring $16,000 will go to support Australians with breast cancer. Seymour President, Peter Elliott, said the Club was once again blown away by the support shown by the community. “Sarah’s Day is a day everyone at our Club looks forward to. It’s a great chance to come together as a community and raise funds for an important cause,” he said. “We couldn’t be more grateful for the support provided by local businesses that donated prizes, and our incredible volunteers who organised the event. “Once again, Tatura Football Netball Club got behind the day in a big way, and we really value the bonds built with another fantastic Club. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone for making the day a success. We know these funds will make a big difference for people in some of their most difficult moments.”
Janelle Puppa Real Estate UNDER 18s Seymour 7.6.48 def Echuca 7.5.47 Best: D Davis, H Thomson, S Charles, L Donnelly, O Fulton Goals: S Charles 2, L Sainsbury 1, C Baumann 1, H Murphy 1, L Hurlock 1, A Munro 1 O'Keefe's IGA Seymour Reserves Seymour 12.12.84 def Echuca 6.4.40 The Lions knew they were up for a tough test against Echuca, who always put a strong side on the park. It proved a difficult first term with Seymour trailing at the break before they flicked the switch and dominated the remainder of the game. Back to back four goal quarters through the middle of the game put the Lions in an unbeatable position at three quarter time, allowing the boys to wrap up a great win away from home. Sam Fuhrmeister stood above the rest to finish best on ground, taking crucial intercept and contested marks all day to provide drive from the defensive end. Cooper Lubeck and Regan Gardner were superb through the middle of the ground as Joel Durham continued his strong form in the ruck. In the forward line, Jack Radford kicked another bag of 5 goals, to see him sitting in a comfortable position atop the Reserves GVL goalkickers table. The Lions will now take on top of the table Kyabram at home this weekend. Best: S Fuhrmeister, C Lubeck, R Gardner, J Durham, J Radford Goals: J Radford 5, O Munro 3, S McMaster 2, C Osmond 1, J Morgan 1 Seymour Club Seniors Seymour 4.15.39 def by Echuca 10.15.75 It was a tough day for the Seniors up at Echuca, going down by six goals in a game that could have been much closer. A slow start in the first quarter saw the Lions give up a three goal advantage, one they worked hard at pegging back through the middle quarters. Despite dominating play in the third quarter, with 9 scoring shots to 3, some inaccurate kicking cost the Lions a chance to have their noses in front going into the final term. Echuca proved too good in the last, running over the top to claim the win. Nathan Beattie, Jack Murphy and James Wooster remained consistent, winning plenty of ball through the middle of the ground, while Lewis Lubeck worked up the field and played a strong game in his 50th for the club. Darcy Giles provided tremendous pressure around the ball, showing fantastic work rate. The Lions get the chance to put their best foot forward against the undefeated Kyabram at home this weekend. Best: N Beattie, J Murphy, L Lubeck, D Giles, J Wooster Goals: R Mason 2, W Le Deux 1, C Powell 1
