Monbulk and Healesville faced off at the latter’s home ground this week. With a strong 16-woman lineup and three wins for three games of the season, they were eager to get their fourth at their home ground. Any nerves were quickly put aside as the team applied great pressure to a competitive Monbulk side early. The first goal came before halftime with a beautiful pass into the centre from Kiera Steventon, Melita Campbel connected and put her debut goal through for the Senior Women’s season. Spirits were high after a fantastic corner conversion by Naomi Hausmann brought the score to 2-0. Kiera Steventon continued her very strong season kicking two brilliant goals and taking Healesville to a strong 4-0 position. A very late goal from Monbulk brought the final score to 4-1 and the Healesville Senior women secure their fourth win and top position on the VCFA league ladder.
