Manning won all seven games and didn't concede a goal.
"Defence was something we focused on,'' coach Mick Grass confirmed.
However, Grass said the side's effort even surprised him.
"Not letting in a goal is pretty special,'' Grass said.
The team capped up a sensational tournament by thrashing Central Coast 7-0 in the final, where Jorja Holborrow was named player of the match. Saffron Grass was named in the All Stars side at the conclusion of the event. Saffron was named in the All Stars following Manning under 12's win at the nationals in 2018.
Grass said the side has been training since October and plays in the Manning futsal boy's 15s competition. They've also had trial games against the Manning youth girls squad.
Team members are Jorja Holborrow, Evie Bobilak, Chelsea Hall, Charlie Norton, Saffron Grass, Jess Burns, Jasmine Trafford. Mick Grass was the coach with Toni Grass the manager.
