Match report: Despite suffering an opening half scare, Griffith ultimately did enough to secure victory over Leeton-Whitton in Riverina League local derby clash at Griffith Exies Oval. Greg Dreyer's Swans side were seeking to build some momentum after a disappointing opening round defeat, while the Crows under the leadership of Tom Groves, were hoping to take the first steps on an upsurge in form.

Swans' forward Heath Northey exited the starting line-up before the game through illness and was replace by Jack Neyland.
The home side appeared to have blown their chance of a large first quarter lead after wasting the wind advantage when they scored only 4 goals 6 behinds. Leeton-Whitton, however, were proving they were well up for the battle by scoring two goals straight.

The Crows were very much intent on ripping up the form book and with Jade Hodge kicking his 5th goal found themselves 15 points behind at half time 6.9 to 5.0. Griffith came out with renewed vigour in the third term and after some early inaccuracy in front of goals kicked 3.8 for the quarter to the Crows solidary point.  Griffith were now assuming control, and in the final term added a further four goals through Baxter (2), Tyson and Kahlan Spencer, his 4th for the game. However, Leeton-Whitton refused to throw the towel in, and Hodge followed up with his 6th for the match.
