Griffith Swans under 17.5s leading the way in Riverina Football League

They will be heading into the match off the back of picking up their eleventh straight victory of the season with an 18.14 (122) to 3.3 (21) over Mangoplah CUE.

Will Ellis had another great day in front of goal as he kicked five majors while Billy Evans kicked three with Lachlan Wallace and Tom Bartter chipping in with two goals each.

It's not often that a football team gets into the second half of the season with an unbeaten record, and coach Jamie Bennett feels it comes down to the squad believing in the way they play.

"We have an extremely talented bunch of boys and great depth across the group," he said.

"WE have had numerous kids push up into first grade, but that hasn't affected our performance. I think what has been really important has been the even contribution and stressing team first footy.

"I think the boys have really bought into that, which is terrific."

The depth of the under 17.5s side is clear to see, with a number of players, including Patrick Payne and Jay Summers, pushing a claim for a birth in the first-grade side.

"It's great to see some of the boys getting an opportunity to show their stuff. It is showing what potential there is for the club in the future," he said.

Arguably the biggest win of the season came when the Swans picked up the points against Turvey Park, which at the time was a meeting between two undefeated sides.

"For a number of weeks, we had been setting ourselves for that game because we knew it was going to be a big challenge," he said.

"To go over there and win that game, and once again we had a few players who were unavailable for us, the group stood up, and it was a great contest. It gives you a great deal of confidence and hope for what the future brings."

While, according to Bennett, the success has come off the back of the talent depth at the club, there have been a couple of key position players who have had fantastic seasons so far.

" Kyle (Bennett) and Ryan Best have been pretty awesome for us in the middle," he said.

"I think Will Ellis up forward has had an awesome year, as has Sammy Irvin down back."

In what might put a fright into their rivals come finals, the team only stands to get stronger when the business end of the season.

With that in mind, Bennett is quietly confident this side has what it takes to bring home the silverware, which would be the first since 2016 in the youngest age group.

"Being 11 zip and the way we have gone about it gives me the most confidence," he said.

"We have been pretty ruthless and single-minded in our approach.

"There have been some small patches here and there that as a coach that you aren't particularly happy with, but when you reflect upon it, we have been really consistent across four quarters."
