Leeton-Whitton's under 13s Junior Crows set for grand final battle against Narrandera

The under 13s have fought hard to make the grand final after finishing fourth at the conclusion of the home and away season.

With the road ahead of them hard, but not out of the question, the young Crows managed to defeat Griffith White and the Northern Jets in the finals series to make the big dance.

Up until that point, the under 13s hadn't beaten either of those sides all season, making it a great achievement to win through to the grand final.

The first final was against a determined Griffith White team in cold and wet conditions.

The under 13s braved the rain, playing some tough footy to come through with a gutsy, five-point victory.
