Emerald d Healesville.
Emerald provided a bigger and stronger opposition against the younger Healesville team.
The Healesville backline played well against many Emerald forward movers. Bradd Egginton continued to be a great player and leader at full back.
Healesville were able to show real potential when they moved the ball quickly and out into space. Nigel Wilkes, Simon Thomas and Matt Charlett were strong contributors around the ground.
Todd Featherstone played well for his 100th game for the club.
Goals: Mathew Charlett, Nick Pearce 2, Todd Featherstone, Damien Gilder, Simon Thomas, Nigel Wilkes 1.
