A summary of match report, with thanks
The Griffith Swans survived a late scare to hold off Narrandera by five points in the Riverina Football League elimination final yesterday at the Leeton Showground. The narrow win gave the Swans an added bonus with the side set to host this weekend's semi finals at Exies Oval.

With a significant breeze at their backs in the first term the Swans opened up a dominant 32-point lead, but the side was at the mercy of the elements in the second quarter when they failed to register a point.  "It was probably about a four or five goal wind, but we did play well in the first quarter," Swans captain-coach Luke McLean said. "It was a scrappy game ... but we had no passengers out there and the blokes were all switched on." The Swans then kicked a further four goals in the third quarter thanks to the generous wind but were restricted to just one solitary goal in the last quarter while Narrandera edged ever closer.  "We had about a 20-point lead at three-quarter time, and I wasn't sure if that was enough," McLean said. "They got a goal in the last 10 seconds or so that got them within four. "Our bottom eight were really good today ... we came through unscathed so we can look to next week and the home final." (The Area News - Monday September 4, 2006).'
