Held at Seiffert Oval back in September, an All Stars team took on the Queanbeyan Blues to help raise money and awareness for the Treehouse and Respite Care for Queanbeyan.
Each charity was presented with a $10,000 cheque in January.
There's another event planned to raise more money for the Treehouse, with a charity golf day at Queanbeyan Golf Club on February 15.
