Wollondilly Public School students Jake and Ben Staines are identical twins and were the only Goulburn kids to make the NSW side.
The Staines brothers travelled up to Newcastle on August 5 for nine days where they took on the country's best young athletes and excelled.
The boys won all but three of their nine games and their team came second over all.

Wollondilly Public School principal Ros Adamson said the entire school community was were behind the boys.
"We'd like to congratulate them on their fine achievement," she said.
