I have come across a massive batch of around 400+ photos which are all negatives from around 1981. They seem to feature Emerald very heavily so were probably taken by a club photographer. I have only converted about 50 at this stage as it takes a little while converting negative film to positive digital images via a scanner.
Here is an example:
Emerald v Kinglake (I think) U17's 1981 final at Warburton. Apart from those bloody concrete goalposts the top goals haven't changed much at all.

Definitely is Yea in the picture.
Kinglake were in the Panton Hill league until the end of the 1980 season (green jumper with yellow vee) and were in recess from 1981 until 1990, when it joined the YVMDFL wearing gold jumpers with a green vee.
There's no record of any football played in 1981 in Kinglake.
