Goulburn Murray Credit Union (GMCU) has joined forces with the Seymour Club SDCA, becoming the naming rights partner of the Under 16s competition for the 2025–26 season.


GMCU offers a rewarding range of everyday banking services, from savings and loans to expert support. Importantly, 100% of its profits are reinvested back into products and services for members, as well as community initiatives that help make our region stronger and more prosperous.


GMCU exists to improve the communities in which we live and work, investing its profits to help them grow, thrive, and succeed.


The GMCU Under 16s competition will showcase the best junior cricketers from across the region, with the season kicking off on Sunday, 26 October. SDCA President Mitch Itter thanked the GMCU for its support.


“We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with another outstanding, community-focused organisation like the GMCU,” Mr Itter said.


“Their values align perfectly with those of our association and our member clubs, which are all built on being community first.


“With GMCU’s support, we’re looking forward to a fantastic season of junior cricket and, hopefully, the opportunity to attract even more young cricketers to our league.


"On behalf of the SDCA, I’d like to thank everyone at the GMCU for the work they do in our communities and for backing our competition.”


This season, the SDCA Under 16s competition has been boosted with six teams entered.


“Our Under 16s competition has shown strong growth over the past few seasons, and we’re excited to have six teams included for the first time in many years,” Mr Itter said.


“Across the board we’re seeing real momentum in junior registrations, thanks to the hard work of our member clubs in building a sustainable competition.


"We’re committed to providing young cricketers with a high-quality competition and representative opportunities throughout the season ahead.”

The Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) has announced the final team for its upcoming representative clash against Emu Valley at Chittick Park on 8 February. The SDCA side will be captained by one of the competition’s greatest players, with Lachlan Watts appointed to lead the team for the one-off match, alongside Coach Cam Armstrong. Watts has long been recognised as a consistent performer and natural leader within the SDCA, earning the captaincy through both his on-field standards and the respect he commands across the competition. The selected squad features a strong blend of experience and emerging talent from across the league, reflecting the depth of cricket within the SDCA and the enthusiasm surrounding the return of senior representative cricket. SDCA President Mitch Itter said the appointment of Watts and the makeup of the squad highlighted the significance of the occasion for the association. “Lachlan is a highly respected figure within our competition and a natural choice to lead this group,” Itter said. “He leads by example, competes hard, and has the respect of teammates and opponents alike. We’re confident he’ll do an outstanding job captaining the SDCA.” “This squad represents the best of our competition. There’s a great mix of experience and youth, and it’s exciting to see players from across our clubs coming together to represent the league.” “The return of senior representative cricket is a major milestone for the SDCA, and the level of interest and support from our clubs has been extremely encouraging.” “The players selected should be proud of their achievement, and we’re looking forward to seeing them represent the SDCA with pride against Emu Valley on 8 February.” Seymour Club SDCA Representative Squad Xavier Arandt (Tallarook) Dan Bergowicz (Seymour) Andrew Butterworth (Yea) Charlies Davies (Puckapunyal) Lachlan Drummond (Seymour) Cam Evans (Seymour) Ciaran Fountain (Puckapunyal) Leigh Irving (Tallarook) Blake Munari-O'Dwyer (Tallarook) Josh Rudge (Tallarook) Lachlan Watts (Tallarook) Kal Winnell (Tallarook)
