Over $11,000 was raised on the day by the eight teams made up of representatives from ANZ, AFG, AFG Home Loans, St.George Bank, ING Direct, Macquarie Bank and Citi.
The final was an all-ANZ affair, with the major bank’s second team taking home the trophy with a 2-1 win.
Stephen Doyle, AFG’s state manager for New South Wales and the ACT, said the event was hugely successful and was thoroughly enjoyed by the players and spectators.
“Save Our Sons is an exceptional charity that we’ve been supporting for the last two years, so it was great to have our brokers and lending partners turn out to raise money for such a worthy cause,” he told The Adviser.
Smartmove co-founder and director Simon Orbell was one of the brokers who participated in the event, and highlighted the importance of brokers supporting charities and local community initiatives.
“We all get very busy as brokers, but to be able to give back like this is something all businesses should look at,” he said.
