Team Lanarkshire including Darren Brownlie (15) of Bellshill; Craig Moore (14) of Uddingston; and Jack Smith (14) of Carfin; were only beaten after a penalty shoot against Pesnica of Slovenia.
The boys were part of the 19-strong Team Lanarkshire who won a total of seven medals in the various events.
Councillor Jim Smith, co-chair of Lanarkshire 2011, said: "Every member of Team Lanarkshire gave excellent performances in Athens and were excellent ambassadors for their sport and Lanarkshire."
Lanarkshire will host the International Children's Games in 2011.
