Some exceptional skills from both teams were on display.

U12 football
After a brave loss against Euroa last week, the Saints met the ladder leader Alexandra, and was shown why Alexandra is favoured for the flag with a dominant display of centre drive and forward pressure.
The Saints were unable to stop the flow of the Rebels’ continual centre run and carry and the forwards locking the ball up front until goal.
The Saints never stopped trying throughout the match, much to the team’s credit, and will double their efforts against Broadford this week.
Best Player Awards:
McDonald’s Seymour: Henry Billen and Ryan Lindner.
Bakers Delight Seymour: Tom Skinner.
U16 football
In another great win, the Saints took down Alexandra 17-11-113 to 2-8-20.
In the first quarter the players put on 38 points without reply, with a brilliant domination of the centre and forward lines.
The second quarter saw a good fight-back from Alexandra, winning the quarter eight points to three.
After an inspirational talk from Rod Man at half-time, it was a different St Mary’s in the second half, winning the last two quarters 36-2 and 36-10.
Goals were shared across the team with nine players kicking a goal, while Will, Rory and Darcy kicked three each, fed by an exceptional midfield and supported by a resolute defence.
The team is looking forward to a tough game next Sunday against Broadford at King’s Park. A big thanks to the volunteers for the support so far this season and to the sponsors DGB Concepts, The Loan Gallery and Justin Glenn from Neil Beer Seymour.
Tabilk
U12 football
Tabilk started well, kicking the first few goals early to set up a commanding lead. The backs were doing well, led by Campbell Baker and Zac Anderson keeping Broadford goalless. The midfield worked hard in attack and got back to help the backline when needed.
Led by Hugh Murphy out of the ruck and the on-ballers who went through the middle, the forwards were terrific in keeping the ball in their forward half and making it hard for Broadford to exit.
Angus Nash was tremendous, kicking five goals and leading the way while the other forwards applied great pressure.
A great win led by a whole team effort.
U14 football
The U14s knew they were in for a contest with Broadford and a contest it was.
The Tabilk boys started as they finished last week with plenty of run and teamwork.
Tabilk put the first two goals on the board before Broadford worked its way back into the contest.
Angus Murray found plenty of the ball through the middle and across half-back and was well supported by Mitch Coll and the fleet-footed Blake Ezard.
Nathan Groom, only in his fourth game of football, showed some great signs not only in the ruck but finding the ball around the ground as well. Groomy was also well supported by Lucas Black.
The second quarter and first half of the third was owned by Broadford. Will LeDeux moved down to the half-back line to steady the ship and Rylan Joyce was also doing a solid job on the last line.
The tide started to turn with some run off half-back through Harry Shiner and Harley Evans-Spencer.
At three-quarter-time the message was ‘hard work gets reward’ — and it did.
Playing strong team football, the boys finished full of run and pegged back Broadford’s three-goal three-quarter-time lead.
Oscar Loweke was lively and Tommy Mason flicked the switch and slotted a lazy three in the last, for a total of four for the day.
Harry Wall yet again played an outstanding game at centre half-forward.
