Leeton-Whitton's under 11s Junior Crows footballers taking on Griffith White in 2022 grand final

The under 11s will be facing off with Griffith White on Saturday morning in the premiership decider after what has been a top season for the young side.

A pre-season that started full of promise has now led these young footballers on their quest for premiership glory.

Some new and old faces, code hoppers and mid-season, the recruits have all come together this year to learn, work hard and have fun.

The side is coached by Craig Purtill and Ben Boots.

A CRACKING start to the year had the young Crows win their first four games comfortably before a narrow defeat to eventual minor premiers Griffith White.

This resulted in the Leeotn-Whitton side taking second spot on the ladder, a position they remained in for the remainder of the season.
