A summary of match report, with thanks
Narrandera have lifted themselves off the bottom of the ladder after outlasting Griffith in the battle of the cellar dwellers at Narrandera Sportsground on Saturday. An 11-goal-to seven first half was enough for the Eagles to secure their second victory of the year in a 90 to 83 triumph, with Luke McKay kicking four goals. Henry Delves was the leading light up forward for Griffith with six goals, but the Swans remain level with Leeton-Whitton at the foot of the ladder with just one win. Narrandera coach Jordan Hedington said the win would give his side plenty of belief when they resume after next week's competition bye. "The goal at the start of the year was six wins and we're happy to be heading in the right direction, that's for sure," he said. "We had a big loss against Wagga last week, but we had five changes to the team today which made a big difference, especially centre half forward Angus Durnan with our attack."
