A summary of match report, with thanks
THE Griffith Swans have picked up another huge win in the Western Derby after coming away with a 110-point win over rivals Leeton-Whitton at Exies Oval. After a scrappy start to the game, the Swans were able to get the first goal of the game just after the halfway point of the first term through Patrick Payne, and a first for the afternoon to James Toscan, had the home side up by 15 points at the first break.

The Swans were able to kick away in the second quarter kicking six goals to one to take a commanding 50-point lead into the main break.
The Crows rallied a bit in the third term and kicked their second goal of the afternoon while restricting the Swans to just the three majors.
Griffith finished the day with a seven-goal final quarter, with Alex Page and Toscan finishing with four goals each to help the Swans come away win an 18.16 (124) to 2.2 (14) win over their arch-rivals. Rhys Pollock continued his strong season, popping up with three goals, while Henry Delves and Payne finished with two goals each. 
In a game where motivation can be difficult to find with the basically locked away at halftime, Swans coach Greg Dreyer was pleased to see his side carry their momentum through. "It is hard to get motivated in games like that, but we were able to really finish it off," he said.

"We spoke about it at three-quarter time. About upping our tackles, we nearly had our 70 tackles for the game which is good given we won by 16 goals. It was a strong game right across the board for the Swans and Dreyer struggled to point out just one player who he felt really stood out. "Everyone really played their roll," he said. The win sees the Swans retain their spot in second position outright on the Riverina League ladder while it gives their percentage a nice healthy boost ahead of their bye next weekend. 
Bryce O'Garey made a cameo appearance for the Crows and was among their best while coach Tom Groves, Jake Turner and Angus Crelley also continued to battle on all afternoon. (By Liam Warren - The Area News - Monday June 26, 2023).
