O'Keefe's IGA Seymour Reserves 

Seymour 5.6.36 v Kyabram 3.7.37


The Reserves match was played in wet and wild conditions at points and warm sunshine at others as the Lions looked to continue their strong form ahead of finals.

The first quarter saw plenty of scrappy footy with the ground very slippery underfoot.

It wasn’t until the third quarter that the game began to open up, setting up a bumper final term with the teams neck and neck at the final break.

The Lions kicked a couple of quick goals to begin the last quarter but were slowly pulled back by the Bombers who were able to kick a goal in the last few minutes to sneak away with a one point win.

The Lions were very unlucky to go down after dominating play for much of the game.

Sam Thomson was fantastic on his return from injury, with Ishaq Ali and Tayte Lewis putting their heads over the footy all day.

Sam Fuhrmeister keeps on putting his best foot forward and Jaxon Lantzke has been a real boost for the side since his return.


Best: S Thomson, S Fuhrmeister, T Lewis, I Ali, J Lantzke
Goals: J Morgan 2, Z Brown 1, R Graham 1, C Salmon 1



Seymour Club Seniors

Seymour 11.11.77 v Kyabram 13.15.93


The Lions knew they were up for a big day against a strong Kyabram outfit but thankfully the weather cleared, allowing for a game of free-flowing football.

The opening term proved the difference with the Bombers coming out of the blocks strongly, booting seven first quarter goals to take a 35-point lead into the first break.

The second quarter saw a more even contest with the Lions able to pull the lead back before launching an assault in the third, piling on five goals to be just five points behind at the final break.

The Bombers were able to hold the fast-finishing Lions at bay, holding onto their lead and picking up a 16 point win.

Nathan Beattie and Tom Maloney played fantastic games around the contest while providing plenty of spread around the ground. Riley Mason again showed his versatility across multiple positions.

Down back, Tom Martin worked tirelessly all day with typical determination, well supported by Ben Cooney who even snuck forward for a goal.

With the Seniors out of finals contention, they’ll be looking to pick up a win in the final match of the Home and Away season against Mooroopna at Kings Park this weekend.


Best: N Beattie, T Maloney, R Mason, T Martin, B Cooney
Goals: J Murphy 3, R Mason 2, N Beattie 1, B Cooney 1, N Fowler 1, L Lubeck 1, T Maloney 1, R Schraven 1

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.”
