Zac Manwaring and Angus Gregory kept the Phantoms pointing towards the try line to help a 39 to 14 victory over the front runners of the competition.

THE fog lifted and provided a glorious day of rugby as the Leeton under 16 Viva 7s side travelled to Albury for a day of rugby and shopping. 

The team played two hard fought games against two tenacious Griffith sides. 

The first game saw Leeton come away with a 4 -1 win with a solid defensive line lead by Zoe Locke making scoring difficult for Griffith. 

Leeton got off to a great start with a runaway try to Sarah Allen as she stepped through the defence and ran the length of the field.

 Sophie Anthony showed good game awareness to sneak over for a cleaver try before offloads behind the line found space for Jenna Elliot who showed blinding speed down the sideline. 

The second game was another win to the Leeton Side as they ground out a tough 3-2 victory in a free flowing affair. 

Lauren young showed good skill to beat the defence for the first try. 

Leeton pounced on a loose ball for a runaway try before Jenna Elliot sealed the victory with her second try of the day. 

Marnie Elliot impressed with the ball in hand in only her first appearance for the team and looks a real talent.

OUR first game today was against the Young Yabbies. They were a very skilled team however the kids stepped up to the challenge passing the ball well and running forward gaining some fantastic metres. It was a 30 all draw.

Our second game was played against Grenfell. Both teams played very well with Aiden, Annabelle and Dakota's confidence is growing every week.

Corbin went over for two tries along with Indie and Braxton scoring several each. Exodus and Blake played some excellent attacking footy with an amazing side step.

It ended up being a 35-all draw with Grenfell.
