The local draw had no junior fixtures for two weekends, while teams in the under 12s, under 13s, under 14s and under 16s took part in the Championships with both boys and girls teams in contention.
Matches were held in Goulburn and Nowra over the two weekends with squads from Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and the Southern Tablelands all in contention.
A highlight for the FSC Association is the under 14s who won the tournament in both the boys and girls divisions, finishing on top.
The teams will now represent the area in respective Country Cup competitions, where the 14s boys will head to Wagga Wagga, while the girls outfit travel to Bathurst for their Cup competition.
After finishing a close second in the under 16s boys, the FSC will also contest the under 16s Country Cup round that will be held in Merimbula.
The under 12s boys finished third in their event, while the under 13 boys finished just outside the top three in fifth place.
Adding to the success, three players from the Far South Coast were awarded the coveted Ray Tweedie Memorial medal.
"This is a memorial medal for the best and fairest player in each age group over the course of the championships," a spokesman for the association said.
Given the quality of players taking part, it is an enormous honour to win the medal, and officials said it was especially wonderful for three coast players to be awarded the medal.
Dylan Watkins was presented the medal in the under 13s, while Jakome Roberts-Charlton won it in the under 14s and Jim Campbell secured the honour for the under 16s.
One proud mum posted on social media about the success of the teams, and her daughter.
"This has been the best Mother's Day watching my daughter achieving her personal goals and dreams that she has been working so hard for," Cassie Ambrose said of Alicia, who was part of the 14s outfit.
Ms Ambrose said she would have to "up her sideline game" when Alicia forms part of the squad to contest the Country Cup and that her family were incredibly proud of Alicia's efforts.
FSC association officials said they were incredibly pleased with the rep results and that the juniors had done the area proud and congratulated everyone who took part.
The Country Cup rounds will be held in June and officials wished all the players luck in their respective draws.
