The Lions showed why they’re a contender come September with some sensational passages of play. Lachlan Beattie made a successful return after some time away, dominating through the middle of the ground and combining well with Joel Durham in the ruck. The tall timber got the job done at both ends of the ground with Ollie Munro working well across half back and Jack Radford extending his lead at the top of the goal kicking charts with a big bag of seven goals. Curtis Powell and Taiten Thomas played with determination to round out the best players in a fantastic all round performance. Best: L Beattie, J Radford, C Powell, O Munro, T Thomas Goals: J Radford 7, J Davey 3, D Short 3, T Thomas 3, C Lubeck 2, C Powell 1, R Gardner 1, N Davey 1 Seymour Club Seniors Seymour 17.14.116 def United 8.8.56 The Seniors game followed a similar pattern to the Reserves with the Lions dominant from the first contest, leaving the result beyond doubt from very early on. The Lions only took the foot off the gas in the final term, allowing United to add some respectability to the scoreline. Jack Murphy racked up plenty of possessions in the midfield alongside his partners in crime, Nic Quigg and Nathan Beattie who were able to stay focused, dominating their direct opponents. Cooper Holdsworth-Rose again showed why he’s a start of the future with his incredible athleticism and fantastic reading of the play. Riley Mason was a class above with five majors, supported well up forward by Nathan Fowler and a very lively Max McLean, who both kicked three goals each. The Lions will be back on the road next weekend to take on Tatura, looking to put another win on the board. Best: J Murphy, N Quigg, N Beattie, C Holdsworth-Rose, R Mason Goals: R Mason 5, N Fowler 3, M McLean 3, J Peris 1, D Davis 1, N Beattie 1, L Lubeck 1, N Quigg 1, D Giles 1

Australian Trenching & Excavations UNDER 15s Seymour 13 def by United 66 It was a lovely day at Deakin Reserve and the girls tried their hearts out contesting the ball all the way down the court. While the girls were able to generate plenty of turnovers, they weren’t able to capitalise on these. Today’s award went to Georgia Hadisutanto for being able to dictate and delay her player’s movement down the court. Café 96 Award: Georgia Hadisutanto Trawool Shed - Cafe, Cottages & Restaurant UNDER 17s Seymour 45 def United 33 Ella Zotti set the pace in the game, chasing every loose ball and creating turnovers from the pressure she created. Ella was crucial in the game and played with great intensity. Paige Cooper worked hard in the defensive circle, hunting down all the long balls and taking great, clean intercepts. Sophie Butterworth shot 37 of 45 goals in today’s game. Her precision and accuracy was on point and she worked hard to get front position. All the Lions worked well together and created pressure, causing some team turnovers. The girls are excited to bring the same energy into the next two games to secure a finals position. O’Sullivan Builders Award: Ella Zotti O’SULLIVAN BUILDERS B RESERVE Seymour 43 def United 37 It was a goal for goal tussle between the top two teams on the ladder. The second quarter saw some great defensive work by Sarah Waite and Ruby Trimble giving Seymour a two goal load going into the third quarter. United come out strong in the third to take the lead midway. Seymour’s attackers and accurate passes into the ring with great shooting by Shona Gesler and Mia Allen helped Seymour get out to a five goal lead. The Lions maintained composure in the final quarter and finished with a six goal win. Whistle Award: Ruby Trimble Seymour Hardware Group B GRADE Seymour 51 def United 35 We struggled to connect in the first quarter but improved in the second half. The Lions were able to gain a nice lead in each quarter of the game. A strong point was the ability of the team to capitalise on early turnovers, taking the game on. The mid court worked hard to get the ball to our shooters. Well done to Ashlyn Webster on getting the award today and welcome back Madi Hager. Inari Sushi Award: Ashlyn Webster Beer Auto Group Seymour A GRADE Seymour 50 def United 46 From the start of the game Bridie Cantwell and Sarah Szczykulski made United work overtime to get the ball to the circle.

A close second quarter brought the pressure with the Lions having to work strategically to hold the lead. A really strong third quarter allowed the Lions to break away on the scoreboard to record a great win.
