In front of a good crowd, Emery and Margosis bobbed up at crucial stages.
Fellow Demon Jordan Harrington has signed with Marrar on permit but didn't play due to travel warnings.
Fellow Hume league players Tyson Muller (Henty) and Charlie Hamilton (Howlong) also played in the practice match.
Collingullie Glenfield Park went into the clash without Albury-based players Jydon Neagle, Steve Jolliffe and Tim Haines.
Lavington's Nck Perryman was assisted from the ground late by Demon officials with a knee injury.
With the Farrer league being called off last week, Marrar is set to join the Riverina league if AFL Riverina decides for the competition to go ahead.
Marrar assistant-coach Cal Gardner said while it was only a trial game, the result was important for his playing group given they may face a season against Riverina league clubs.
"It is a trial game and there were a lot of players out from both sides but from our point of view we'll certainly take a lot of confidence out of that win," Gardner said.
"If we do get into a season (against Riverina League clubs), it gives us confidence.
"Even if there is no season either, it was still worth having a hit-out today as a bit of reward for all the training."
Jayden Klemke played the second half and got his first taste of football in over 12 months.
