Costumed heroes braved the cold, only to be plunged into icy waters in support of MND Victoria and Shepparton’s Karen Gladigau, who passed away from the disease in 2024.
And setting the stage for the frozen fanfare was a host of fast flowing footy on the oval.
Goulburn Murray Junior League clashes preceded the event, and the last cab off the rank was a pulsating clash between Mooroopna and Seymour in the under-16 division two.
The two sides were separated by just three points at quarter time, and though Seymour led 34-25 at the half, the game was up for the taking.
It was the Lions who bared their teeth in the second half, however, running away with a 9.7 (61) to 6.4 (40) victory as Baxter Loweke lit the fuse with four majors.
In the round’s other games, Tongala turned it on with an 8.8 (56) to 2.2 (14) victory over Moama while Alexandra bested Wandong by 84 points.
