Leeton Junior Rugby League's under 14s boys taking on Griffith Black and Whites in 2022 grand final

Leeton's under 14s side will be vying for grand final bragging rights when they take to the field to face off with the Griffith Black and Whites.

To be played on Saturday, the Leeton side have been working hard all season to make this big dance and will be hoping this all pays off with one final win.

The under 14s progressed to the grand final last weekend after they defeated the Griffith Waratah Tigers, 36-22 on Saturday during the semi-finals, which were played at the Leeton High School ovals.

Looking ahead to this weekend's grand final, a mammoth task awaits the young player.

The under 14s haven't beaten the Black and Whites all season, but their underdog status will have them hunting down the Panthers in what should be an exciting match for both players and spectators alike.

The Leeton team is coached by Shane Wallace, who said his side was up to the grand final challenge.

Wallace was confident the under 14s would be able to turn the tables against the Panthers at the time when it matters most.

"Our side has improved a lot over the past month," Wallace said.

"They have gained in confidence since playing in the Junee knockout.

"They are playing more as a team rather than kids from three different high schools and playing for each other.

"No doubt Griffith is a well polished and quick side and will take some beating.

"We will go in as underdogs, but I think we have the self belief to give it a good shake."

The under 14s boys line up for their premiership match in Griffith on Saturday, with kick off at 1pm.

Leeton supporters have been urged to attend to cheer the side on to what will hopefully be a victory on the day.
