Wolumla's Tanisha Tresize and Pambula Beach sisters Emma and Jess Bennett all formed part of the Southern NSW Country side to take on the championships.
Tanisha and Emma were selected in the Under 14's team with Jess selected in the Under 12's age category.
Tanisha plays for the Tigers, while Jess pulls on the boots for the Grasshoppers.
Association officials said Emma used to hit out for the Grasshoppers, but now showcases her skills as part of the Southern Branch FC.
The week-long tournament was played at NSW Football headquarters at Valentine Park with the girls teams playing nine games against the the top level footballers in their age group in NSW.
Association officials said the competition was fierce and the crown ultimately fell to Metropolitan outfits in both age groups.
However, the Southern Country teams contested strongly, especially the Under 14's team, with some solid wins against their city opponents and some great individual performances.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the girls to experience the highest level of football in NSW and officials said they stood up well against some of the best players in the country.
The trio all thoroughly enjoyed their time getting to know their team mates, staying in camp with their teams and challenging their skills.
A spokesman for the association congratulated the trio on their selections and said they had done the area proud.
