Leeton finished a dominant campaign in fine style with a 33-12 grand final win over the Steamers at Connolly Oval.

The Phantoms were huge favourites after going unbeaten this year, but were made to work hard for everything against a plucky Steamers outfit.

Leeton looked jittery early and committed a number of errors, with Albury capitalising to score the first try through fullback Moses Baleidrokadroka after seven minutes.

But the Phantoms composed themselves and with their big size advantage in the pack starting to be a factor, scored the next three tries through Eroni Naua, Sounivalati Raturadra and Vereti Tupou to take a 21-5 lead early in the second half.

A try off a regathered chip kick to Albury inside centre George Woods got them back into the game at 21-12 with 20 minutes left, but Raturadra's second and another after the bell to Agustin De Notta sealed the premiership for Leeton.

Albury captain Sam Seton was proud of his team's application, but said Leeton's size eventually told.

"Anyone's going to get tired going up against those big bodies, it's how it is," Seton said.

"They just kept busting up the middle and rolling with their big boys.

"At the start of the season it was pretty average with player numbers because of COVID, but I was proud we came this far.

"We wanted to play as much footy as we could and get the experience into the young players from the older guys and we achieved that."

Raturadra was awarded the Warwick Tout medal as the player of the match.
