Players, with a little bit of help from their parents, whipped up a delicious feast of lasagna, salad, curry and rice as a way to say thank you to the hard-working volunteers.
Coach Ross Fuller said as a club always looking for a way to get involved and help out in the community, cooking for BlazeAid was a great opportunity.
"I made up a roster and it was filled within a couple of hours. We'd made up a bit of a menu and everyone got cooking," he said.
Not only did junior players help cook, prepare and serve, they also had a go in the sink cleaning up.
BlazeAid volunteers gave positive feedback to the club acknowledging the youngsters ability and willingness to engage and have a chat.
"We were there when the volunteers had their meeting to plan out what they needed to do for the next day. I think the kids got a good handle on what BlazeAid does."
Over catering ensured volunteers would be enjoying some delicious leftovers for lunch and dinner.
Fuller said it was great to see everyone in the club more than happy to put their hand up and help.
BlazeAid set up camp in Inverell following the devastating Tingha Plateau fire in February.
More than 115 volunteers from across Australia have assisted in the rebuilding of fire damaged boundary fences in that time.
