Seymour has been a consistent force in the Goulburn Valley League’s A-grade competition over recent years, boasting premierships in 2019 and 2022 alongside regular finals appearances.
While a fifth place finish in 2023 and a sixth place finish last season might suggest the Lions’ premiership window is closing, that’s far from the case.
Wins over contenders such as Mooroopna throughout last year, and tight contests against fellow finalists Tatura and Shepparton show the Lions still have the ability to mix it with the best.
Factor in the addition of new coach Casey Adamson, an out an out gun with Super Netball League experience, playing with Collingwood, as well as a long stint with the Booroondara Express in the VNL, and you’d expect Seymour to once again be around the mark.
In a club statement over the pre-season, Adamson spoke of the unsatisfying finish to last year, and assured that there was the drive among the group to once again rule the GV.
“We’ve got a great squad once again this season and we’re all eager for round one to come around,” she said.
“Last year was a bit disappointing, going out in an elimination final, and I know the girls are eager to push deeper into finals this year.”
Ellie Fuhrmeister may have stepped down from the head coaching role, but remains a vital cog in the Lions line-up, which remains relatively similar to last season, although Lucy Zotti makes the step up to become a full-time member of the squad.
