EMERALD came out firing in the first quarter and kicked three goals to none. After a stern talking-to at quarter time, the Healesville boys came back into the game stronger, kicking five goals to lead by two goals at half time. The third quarter was tight with each team only managing to put one goal each on the scoreboard. Healesville dominated the final quarter running out comfortable winners at the final siren. Well done Bloods.
