Leeton won the toss and elected to field, but it looked to backfire as Dean and Kyle Bennett showed their class in building an opening partnership of 70 runs.
Captain Mat Axtill claimed two wickets as Griffith built a total of 154.
Leeton openers Rhett McGregor and Ben McDowell began nervously, with Rhett bowled out for six. Harrison Rudd came to the crease and set about building a steady partnership with Ben before both retired on 35.
Kyle Pete played well and raced to 27, while Mat and Jye Doyle helped Leeton cruise to 2-155 with eight overs to spare.
The win caps an outstanding season, with the team thanking all parents and carers for their time and support during the year.
