Seymour 6/86 (L Drummond 57no) def Puckapunyal 6/85 (B Horkings 2/12, B Pointon 2/11)


Seymour got its season underway at home with a solid win over Puckapunyal. They were able to restrict Puckapunyal to just 85 from their 20 overs at Chittick Park, largely thanks to economical bowling and two wickets each from Braidon Horkings and Brodey Pointon.

The run chase was far from straightforward as Ciaron Fountain picked up early wickets, leaving Seymour in trouble at 4-30 before Lachlan Drummond stood up.

Opening the batting, Drummond finished unbeaten on 57, including 8 fours and 1 six to virtually chase down Puckapunyal’s total single handed.

Seymour will now face Tallarook in the second round of T20 matches next weekend.


Alexandra 7/75 (M Mawson 23, V Hewage 20) def by Pyalong 7/79 (W Ashton 3/18)


Pyalong managed to sneak over the line in the final over of its clash with Alexandra at Leckie Park.

The Redbacks batted first and were only able to put 75 on the board, largely thanks to handy contributions from Will Ashton, Vinu Hewage and Michael Mawson. Matthew Pratt and James Wilkins both picked up two wickets for Pyalong.

Pyalong got the job done with just two balls remaining, with Alexandra skipper Will Ashton picking up 3/18 to cause difficulties in the chase.


Avenel 75 (T Stefanos 22, D Thompson 2/14, Z Mills 2/14) def by Yea Tigers 4/78 (B Hardinge 50no, T Stefanos 2/7)


Avenel batted first in its return to A Grade cricket with newly appointed Captain/Coach Travis Stefanos leading all comers with 22. Their innings was curtailed by Dylan Thompson and Zak Mills who claimed two wickets apiece.

Senior representative cricket returns for the SDCA

October 10, 2025
Senior representative cricket is back on the Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) calendar for the first time in six years, with the region’s top players set to take on the Emu Valley Cricket Association at Chittick Park in Seymour on Sunday 8 February. The fixture forms part of a trial being undertaken by Northern Rivers Cricket, with all member associations playing senior representative matches throughout the 2025–26 season. The initiative is designed to strengthen regional competition, with the potential for expansion in future seasons. While the SDCA has consistently fielded junior representative teams in Country Week competitions, the return of a senior side marks a welcome boost for local players eager to compete at a higher level. SDCA President Mitch Itter said there was strong enthusiasm across the association for the return of senior representative cricket. “There’s been a real buzz from clubs and players about the opportunity to represent the SDCA again,” he said. “We’ve got so much talent across our competition, and players are eager to challenge themselves and show what they can do. "We’re confident of putting a strong side on the park in February, knowing Emu Valley will be doing the same. "This is a really positive step from Northern Rivers and works far better for our players than the traditional Melbourne Country Week format. "We’re looking forward to seeing how this concept develops and can’t wait for February 8.” The SDCA is also seeking expressions of interest for a Coach, Team Manager and Scorer for the representative fixture. Those interested are encouraged to contact Mitch Itter via email at pres.sdca@gmail.com .
