Griffith Swans fall short in Riverina Football League match against Collingullie Glenfield Park

The Demons prevailed 11.11 (77) to 8.7 (55) at Griffith, although at points it looked like the gap would be significantly larger.

It was Collingullie-Glenfield Park's fourth win in five games, and ensures they remain in the top five with a 5-4 season record.

Blake Harper booted four goals for the victors while the league's second top goalscorer, Henry Delves booted five for the Swans..

The Demons led by 35 points midway through the second quarter, but Griffith battled on throughout to keep the scoreboard respectable.

The fight back did add some gloss to the disappointing result, Griffith coach Greg Dreyer said.

"It's a little bit frustrating but we fought the game out well.

"A four goal loss is close but not quite there but the biggest positive is that we have that determination in the group.

"They keep on fighting they don't throw the towel in and they work to run the game out as best they can."

Dreyer was still not overly happy with the performance, and he believed his side's inexperience had cost them again.

"You could see from our skill errors and our decision making that our inexperience just comes to bite us all the time," Dreyer said.

"We need to focus on our execution, decision making, and fitness."
