A large crowd gathered for the pre-season showcase which included an exhibition between the returning Eden Tigers and Snowy River Bears.
The All Stars had a hard-fought 26-18 win over the Indigenous All Stars in the men's event, while a 28-0 result in the ladies didn't match the quality of play.
Coach Joe Bobbin said the Indigenous side came out hard and fast, but the All Stars were able to "weather the storm" and secure the result.
He said the match was also a great way to see what clubs might be bringing to the table.
"The result between the Indigenous boys and us, you can tell it's going to be good quality footy all season," Bobbin said.
"Young Ryan Norris played five-eighth for us and he had a blinder, he's a tough guy and will have an exciting season."
"Meanwhile, Adam Rodwell really stepped up to the plate to lead our forwards and that went a long way to laying the platform."
He said Shaun Deaves was one of the best out of the Indigenous roster.
The Indigenous side worked hard through the ruck and made good ground, but Bobbin said it was about "biding our time to turn it around and make sure play was out of their half".
"They were tough and physical up front, made us bide our time and half our tries came through the edges getting around those big forwards."
Women's coach Cael Kelly said it was an exceptional game and both teams were role models for girls looking at the sport.
"It was their opportunity to show girls what is possible, the same when I was a little tacker watching the blokes run around," Kelly said.
He said in the pre-season fixture they were more than just footballers, but icons for budding kids.
On the field, Kelly said the score did not reflect the quality of play with the All Stars winning 28-0 over the Indigenous roster.
"We were lucky to have exceptional defence coming off the line to keep the Indigenous girls out in the first five to 10 minutes," he said.
Incoming Panthers captain-coach Anneliese Hughes was the standout, while halves Kiarna Mitchell and Joccoaa Rogers steered play well and synced up with fullback Tamika Millard.
Meanwhile, Bobbin is returning as Bombala Blue Heelers coach for their premiership defence, which kicks off on April 6.
"It can be a tough thing to come back from winning a grand final, we've had a few guys retire, but we've got a nice crop of 18s coming up.
"We'd like to get the Fijian boys in again - we're hoping all that comes through and we're just ready for the season and putting ourselves out there to defend the title."
