The Crows have had an outstanding season that so far comes complete with an unblemished record. Leeton-Whitton finished the home and away season on top of the ladder having won all of their 14 matches throughout the year.
With just the grand final remaining, the side will be aiming to keep that record intact as they aim to bring home the silverware and finish off a perfect year. The Junior Crows will take on the Northern Jets on Sunday at Barellan Sportsground at 12.45pm.
A word from coach Gerard Rourke
"It has been a great performance this year all in all," he said.
"We haven't played with a full side in any of the games, but in a couple of our toughest hit outs the team dug deep to fight out the final quarter with a don't lie down attitude to win these games.
"It has been great to see the team progress and unite to play the brand of football they are producing.
"The team has one final game (grand final) to produce the pressure, attack and open running game style they have been executing well in 2019 and should be confident in themselves and their team mates they will bring it into Sunday's premiership match.
"It has been a pleasure to coach this under 13s group."
