The Cup is a three-day tournament played in Canberra against teams from around NSW and the ACT.
The competition comprises three boys age brackets, plus two girls groups and featured about 60 teams.
Organisers said there were more than 600 junior cricketers taking part.
The Far South Coast squad drew games against strong Sydney and Canberra sides and the team was unlucky to lose a couple of extremely close games.
Morgan Thornton, Noah Martin, Xavier Bowes and Rahul Mudaliar made up a strong Eden contingent to the local side with all players enjoying the carnival.
The group has also returned with a wealth of experience as both Morgan and Noah are just 10-years-old, while Rahul and Xavier are still only nine.
“These players will be much better placed in the next year or two while they will still be competing in the same age bracket,” an Eden Cricket Club spokesman said.
“The club was very proud to have these players represent Eden in this carnival for the first time.
“We are confident that their continued development will only help the Eden under 12 sides.”
Junior under 12s training is Wednesdays at 4pm, while under 10s is Fridays at 4pm.
