Round 5 was a split round, with the Healesville Women’s team the only team in action this week while the rest of the club enjoyed the week off.
The women took on Pakenham at home in beautiful sunny weather this week.
Healesville held the ball in their forward half giving Pakenham very few scoring opportunities for
most of the first half of the game keeping Pakenham goalless for the first half.
Healesville went into halftime with a 33-point lead.
Healesville’s lead could have been more commanding if they had the accuracy in front of the goal.
The third quarter saw Healesville continue to dominate the scoring and extended their lead to 47 points.
The final quarter was low scoring from both teams as the warm weather and large ground took their toll on the players.
Healesville ran out winners by 51 points and stay on top of the ladder, one game clear of Upwey-Tecoma.
