CAPTURING THE CHAOS 📸🦁

A season of footy means plenty of things worth photographing... and plenty that probably shouldn't be. 😂

A massive thank you to Wags, Scales & Pixels for supporting the Lions throughout 2026 and helping bring the season to life both on and off the field.

From capturing the action and milestones to creating graphics, posters and social media content, WSP has helped us share the people, moments and occasional chaos that made up our season.

We're pretty sure there are some photos we'd like framed, some we'd like forgotten, and a whole lot in between. 😂

But that's what makes a season.

Thanks for being there to capture it, create it and share it all. ❤️🖤

THANK YOU, REGAL DRY CLEANERS 🦁

We’re giving a big end-of-season shoutout to Regal Dry Cleaners for their continued support of the UTAS Lions.

Now 5 years into their partnership with the club, Regal has continued to get behind our Lions and support grassroots sport in the Launceston community.

We’re incredibly grateful for businesses like Regal who choose to invest in their local community and help our club continue to grow.

Thank you for being part of the Pride! ❤️🤍🦁

12 YEARS OF BACKING THE LIONS 🦁

For12 years, VOS Construction & Joinery has backed the UTAS Lions, helping support our players, our club and the opportunities we can provide both on and off the field.

Twelve years is a pretty special milestone, and we're incredibly proud to have VOS in our corner.

From everyone at the Lions, thank you for sticking with us through the wins, losses, mud, rain and everything in between.

Here's to many more. ❤️🖤🦁

THANK YOU, TASMANIAN PRIME MEAT 🥩🦁

A huge thank you to Tasmanian Prime Meat Launceston for donating meat trays throughout the 2026 season!

Your generosity has helped us raise funds, bring people together and add a little extra excitement to plenty of Lions events throughout the year.

We genuinely appreciate the support and generosity you've shown our club.

Thanks for helping keep the Lions fed, Tasmanian Prime Meat! 🥩❤️🖤🦁

Who needs a footy bag anyway? 😂

Kids cars, b**r cartons, cling wrap, a doggo and questionable substitutes were all on show for Any Bag But a Footy Bag night.

Safe to say the creativity was strong… the bag choices, not so much. 🧐
