Brendan Huf won the RI Cordner Medal for best afield in a game that was studded with magnificent individual moments and some fierce body clashes.
Carey had eleven goalkickers, with Huf slotting four. Grant Baldwin was silky while Julian Rowe proved a handful.
Brett Voss booted five for Old Haileybury, and Sam Langford-Jones four in super forward efforts, while Corey Millard was magnificent in defence for the Bloods.
Haileybury skipper Tony Brown won the toss and kicked with the breeze, but Carey jumped away to an early lead.
