Match report: The opening round games of the Riverina League competition for 2025 season commenced on Saturday last, under perfect weather conditions. Since last season Griffith, through varies reasons, have lost many of their players, and club officials have a big task in trying to unearth local talent to fill the vacant places. Sam Foley captained the local side, whilst Collingullie-Wagga were guided by Shane Lenon from the sideline and Nick Perryman on the field. The visitors who were last year's premiers, were strongly represented and fully expected to record their first victory of the season against Griffith.

As soon as the ball was bounced the Gullie' side set up a bombardment on the Swans' sticks and scored 30 points to a one flag score for the first term. The game looked quite safe for the Demons at the half time change leading by 41-points, and so it proved.

During the third quarter, Red and White's made a determined effort and succeeded in scoring three goals and four behinds but was still down by 51 points at the last charge over. The visitors settled down to business in the final quarter and rattled up five goals five behinds. while their opponents adding 1 goal 2 behinds and the final siren sounded with Collingullie-Wagga the winners of an entertaining and hard-fought game by 78 points.
