Juniors exude Anzac spirit



THE traditional Anzac Day Clash was held between Healesville and Yarra Glen Junior Football club at Queens Park.
The first game was the under-9s, with Healesville playing their first home game for the year.
The game was free-flowing with goals scored at both ends.
The under-10s then took the field, with Yarra Glen providing a strong contest for the Healesville team that has dominated over the past couple of rounds.
The Healesville under-12s once again showed their class with a great team effort to pile on the goals for another victory.
The anticipated under-14s clash didn’t eventuate to the close game that was expected, with Healesville proving too strong – and the win secured the Anzac honours for Healesville.
The under-16s took to the field for the final game of the day and both teams put in a strong performance in the first quarter, with score equal at quarter time, the Healesville team started to show their experience in the remaining quarters to run out 97-point winners.
The under-11 team played Monbulk.
The first three quarters were a tight affair within Healesville remaining scoreless until the last quarter.
The boys almost pipped Monbulk in the last quarter, but Monbulk steadied and scored their last goal on the siren.
