Major first for Seymour District Cricket Association

September 3, 2025

For the first time in its history, the Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) has secured an official naming rights partner, with the Seymour Club proudly supporting cricket across the region.


The new partnership will see the competition referred to as the Seymour Club SDCA, with naming rights also extending to the A Grade competition. It’s another example of the Seymour Club investing in local sport and the wider community.


The announcement comes as the SDCA enters a period of growth, with the A Grade competition adding another team in 2025–26, B Grade expanding by two sides, and a boost in junior teams expected this season.


SDCA President Mitch Itter said the partnership was a timely show of support.


“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with the Seymour Club,” Mr Itter said.


“This is a milestone moment for our association. Having naming rights sponsorship for the first time reflects the strength of local cricket and the belief the Seymour Club has in what we’re building.


“All our member clubs are pulling in the same direction and eager to see cricket flourish, something that will be made much easier with the Club’s support.


“The Seymour Club invests heavily back into the community, and to have them backing us gives the competition extra confidence as we continue to grow.


“On behalf of all SDCA clubs I’d like to thank the Seymour Club Board and Management and look forward to building a long and successful partnership.”


Seymour Club President Sandra O’Sullivan said the club was delighted to be backing cricket.


“The Seymour Club has a proud tradition of supporting local sport, and partnering with the SDCA is a great extension of that commitment,” Ms O’Sullivan said.


“Cricket brings together people of all ages and abilities, and we want to see it continue to grow in our community.


“Our support is about backing cricket across the SDCA, promoting the competition, hopefully seeing senior representative cricket return and ensuring local players have a strong competition to enjoy.



“We’re very proud to stand alongside the SDCA and can’t wait to see a fantastic summer of cricket unfold.”

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)
