The Ray Walters coached side won 6-0 over Newcastle, 3-0 against Southern Highlands and 3-0 over Sydney South in the preliminary matches.
Manning then accounted for Orange 5-0 in the semi-final.
However, the final against Sydney East was a tough contest. Sydney took a 1-0 early in the clash before Manning levelled at 1-0. A goal to Jayden Manusu finally broke the deadlock.
Walters said it was a real team effort.
“The less experienced players were able to get valuable game time in the pool games to enable our key players to save themselves for the final series,’’ he explained.
Team members were Brady Cross, Mason Doel, Max Elliott, Dean Germon, Lachie Harry, Gus Johnson, Jayden Manusu, Nic Maslen, Jake Mendham, Mace Murray, Tallis Taylor-Wilson, Toby Vickers, Kurt Walters and Bayden Smith.
