The day was developed by Leanne and Wayne Koehler and the Howlong Football Netball Club seven years ago after they lost their daughter Aimee to suicide.
After a brief ceremony to mark the occasion the netball began in earnest, both sides playing strong and physical games.
It was close going in to the final quarter with the Crows one goal down and gaining momentum.
An unfortunately timed injury to Harriet Simpson, one of Crows key defenders, gave Howlong the space they needed to dominate through some excellent and accurate shooting by their goalies.
It was a great day out for all, Howlong running away with the win in the end 47-34.
