It was the Waratahs first trip to the championships after their plans to play last year were cancelled after the event was called off due to wet weather.
The under 10s side has been the team to beat in the Group 20 Junior Rugby League Grand Final after they were according to Sidlow able to dominate the competition.
The Panthers under 12s were also able to get through their four games undefeated.
In their first game against Wagga Kangaroos, they were able to come away with a 22-12 win.
Next up for the Panthers was a local derby against the Waratahs side which they took out convincingly with a 24-4 win.
The side wrapped up their age group with another convincing 34-0 over Tumut before defeating 26-4 in their final game.
The sides now prepare for the junior Group 20 rugby league grand finals which will take place in Leeton this weekend.
