Players swapped their usual black, red and white socks for pink to raise funds for the Inverell Breast Cancer Support Group.
Organiser Chloe Gleeson said with men's and women's teams sporting their bright, pink socks the club was able to raise more than $4,000.
"With teams sporting their socks, a gold coin donation at the gate, monster raffle and handmade goodies being sold, we raised a total of $4,205. We had a great turnout."
These funds will go directly to the Inverell Breast Cancer Support Group and will help local families in need.
