The first day of competition saw the under-14 boys and under-16 girls play.
Sports coordinator, Tyson Oakley, said both teams played extremely well.
The boys' team made it as far as the semi-finals, but did not advance from there.
The girls' team tasted success in each of their five games and won the final 3-1, which Mr Oakley considered a massive improvement from last year.

The under-19s didn't disappoint either with many goals scored on their way to the final, but they were beaten by Taree 6-2 in the tournament decider.
