Seymour 16 - Tatura 36


The round one opener at Tatura gave us plenty of wet weather and a soaked court, leading to plenty of short balls. Sophie Butterwoth stood up in the attacking end, leading with strong drives and positive turn overs. Showing her versatility she flipped to the defensive end, ending with intercepts and rebounds. Ivy Watson and Ruby Fletcher followed with strong pressure across the court and helping in transition. Overall the wet weather ruled and we couldn’t get the job done. Lots of positives to take away from the game.

The Lions put on a clinical performance to get the win in the B Reserves. Mia Allen was strong on the ball and provided plenty of movement in the ring alongside Toni Bootland in her first game for the club.

Seymour 50 - Tatura 52


It was always going to be a tough Round 1 match-up against the classy Tatura outfit and so it proved to be.

Courtney Aldous provided great pressure off the centre pass and through the defensive third.

Ally Black showed her class in her first game for the Lions, communicating and moving well with Ellie Fuhrmeister. Both girls benefited from great midcourt work from Rosie O’Sullivan and shot well.

Ruby Martin made a fantastic return at the other end of the court to where she last was at The Den.

In a close tussle, Tatura got out to a six-goal lead partway through the final quarter, which the Lions started to claw back through strong whole-court pressure before being beaten by the siren, coming with the Lions two goals down.

A great first up game from the girls.

Lions re-sign stars for 2026

By Mitch Itter • July 31, 2025
The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) has announced its first re-signings for 2026 with a group of five key players putting pen to paper. Current Senior Co-Coach Jack Murphy headlines the group, returning next season after a dominant year so far. Fellow midfielders Nathan Beattie, reigning Senior Best & Fairest winner, and Nic Quigg, VFL listed inside mid, have also both signed on the dotted line. Key forward Nathan Fowler will bring up 50 Senior games in his next outing for the Lions and will be back for his fourth year at The Den in 2026. Rounding out the five is Huw Jones, who has missed the entire 2024 season after a knee reconstruction, but will be ready to go come Round 1 2026. SFNC President Peter Elliott said these re-signings demonstrate the strong belief within the playing group about the list's potential. “We’re thrilled to have these five boys back on board for next season. It sends a clear message that we’re serious about challenging the very best teams in the league,” Mr Elliott said. “Jack Murphy has been outstanding as our Senior Co-Coach this year and his passion is unmatched. Nathan Beattie and Nic Quigg are star midfielders, and having all three on the park together will make us formidable in the middle. “Nathan Fowler is a true heart and soul player and a key presence up forward. We also can’t wait to see Huwy running out again in 2026. “While we’re out of finals contention this year, we’re focused on finishing the season strong and look forward to announcing more re-signings in the coming weeks.”
