The QBE Sydney Swans Academy's Under 18s came away with a thrilling one-point win over GWS Giants at Lakeside Oval on Saturday.

They take out the series with only one more game to play.

Unfortunately, the Under 16s weren't as lucky. Gallant for three quarters, they simply ran out of puff in the last quarter to go down by 36 points.
