SEYMOUR’S senior men are sitting pretty in third courtesy of a big win over Tatura in the fifth round of the Goulburn Valley Football Netball League.
The Lions were utterly dominant across the board, and showed they are very much a threat when they play their best football, scoring 24 goals in a Saturday afternoon stroll against the Bulldogs.
Seymour’s three-headed monster did all the damage throughout the opening half – Riley Mason, Jack Murphy and Jaron Murphy contributing seven of the first eight goals of the afternoon, while Lewis Lubeck also joined in the fun with two goals late in the second term as the Lions led 80-7 at the main break.
The Lions were simply ruthless. An eight-goal to two burst in the third quarter suggested that they were keen to build as much percentage as possible, and as a result, the lead was extended past 100 points at the final change, with Seymour leading 129-20.
The Lions had multiple chances to extend the lead in the final quarter but managed four goals from nine shots as the final margin would be 132 points, 24.14 (158) to 4.2 (26).
Jack and Jaron led the way, with both providing sensational performances. Jack kicked five goals, while Jaron added three, and Mason, for his troubles, sits atop the goalkicking charts with 24 after a bag of six.
Seymour’s reserves are starting to motor in their premiership defence, scoring a 124-point win over the Bulldogs, but the under 18s missed out on an opportunity to cement its spot in the top six, losing by 23 points.
On the netball court, Seymour survived a tense afternoon against Tatura to win by two goals, 49-47, having had to come from behind at half time to sit in fifth position on the A-grade ladder.
B-grade scored a comfortable 22-goal victory, as did B-reserve, winning by nine goals.
The 17-and-under team fell to defeat by six goals, while the 15-and-under lost by 23 goals.
