The tournament is held every three years for U13, U15, and U17 juniors. The two were the only Jewish boys selected to the team.
The team won nine out of 10 games in the round-robin stages, beating the Kiwis in the semi-final, and facing defending champion Australia in the final, where they won convincingly with a 102 – 70 result to take the gold medal. It is the first time that a country other than Australia has won a Junior World Series.
