Dayne Houlison, Ashton McDonald and McLeod Dean did Lithgow proud at the under 13s tournament in Armidale.
Their team took out the title a 1-0 victory over Southern Highlands in the final.
In a phenomenal performance, the Dubbo district side went through the entire championships undefeated without conceding a goal.
However they managed to score 24 goals of their own across their six games.
Dayne was a force to be reckoned with in midfield and defence, with his strong ball skills and determination testing the best of the opposing teams.
Ashton played predominantly as goal keeper and was spectacular in stopping the opposition at every turn.
He came up with several impressive deflections and saves.
McLeod worked tirelessly as he played in the midfield and defence.
All three boys should be exceptionally proud of themselves as they not only displayed some awesome hockey skills but great sportsmanship.
A total of 36 teams took part in the three day competition.
A huge thank you and congratulations to the Dubbo Hockey Association. All three boys have made some life long friendships from this experience.
