It was a tough day out for the senior side against the Shepparton Swans on Saturday.
After a hard-fought game Seymour went down to Shepparton Swans 66 to 84.
Nathan Fowler wasted no time getting back on the scoreboard on his return from injury, with the Lions putting together a solid first quarter.
In the second, the Swans blew the game open, kicking six goals to Seymour’s one.
While the second half saw an improved effort across the board, the Lions weren’t able to peg back the difference, going down by three goals.
Riley Mason was again dominant up forward creating plenty of opportunities with Jack Murphy picking up plenty of the footy.
Assistant Coach Jack Murphy said that the Lions were out worked during the second term and failed to respond in any fashion.
A six goal to one second term really had us on the back foot and added to that losing three players to injury in the second half was disappointing but to peg the margin back without any rotations was a credit to the boys who were playing,” Murphy said.
“Our second half was played at a much higher level, and we hope to bring a similar intent next week against the Shepparton Bears. It will be a totally new challenge, we will flip the magnets to replace our injured guys and hopefully bring a winning attitude to our first home game,” he added.
Best on ground were J Murphy, R Mason, N Beattie, C Thomson, N Fowler. Goals came from R Mason 4, N Fowler 3, R Schraven 1 and L Lubeck 1.
