Only two teams are in action for the netball with Hallam only fielding B and D grades.
The B grade game was a tight one, with two goals between the teams at quarter time.
The second quarter saw the teams go goal for goal with Hallam in the lead by one goal at half time.
Hallam came out in the third quarter and managed to extend their lead to five goals at three-quarter time which was enough to secure the win by eight goals.
D Grade had a different line-up this week with sickness requiring a reshuffle to get a team on the court, so it took a while for the team to warm-up with Hallam getting the jump early.
The third quarter saw Healesville outscore their opposition, but the damage had been done, with Hallam running out winners by 11 goals.
