Students from Dubbo College's Senior, Delroy and South Campuses were joined by those from Anson Street School in Orange, Bathurst's Careene School, Parkes High and Wellington high for a day full of AFL matches.

Dubbo College special education teacher and carnival co-ordinator, Jess Jones, said it was a great day to be a part of.

"It's really good for kids' self esteem because they're able to play against kids with all kinds of disabilities, they're not just thrown in with the mainstream kids where they feel they can struggle so it's really important," she said.

"They've been excited for a while, there's been a big build up so it's good to see them enjoying themselves."

There were two divisions with both competitive and non-competitive matches played from 9am with Senior Campus one of the real standouts on the day.

AFL NSW Regional Co-ordinator Matthew Johnson was one of those who helped the day run smoothly and he was delighted with the skills he saw.

"It's been very good, there's over 100 kids from across the region and they're all having a great time so it's fantastic," he said.

"It's really positive to see how much talent is around and they're having a great day."

Jones was full of praise for Johnson and also members of the Dubbo Demons who assisted in umpiring and a number of other tasks yesterday.

The students' enjoyment was clear to see with South Dubbo Oval filled with laughter all day and Johnson admitted it was a special feeling to see his sport helping people have fun and keeping active.

"It's profiling AFL in the region and getting it on the map and the bottom line is AFL is just the tool to make everyone have a good time," he said.

"These kids might not get a heap of opportunity in club sport so days like this are awesome because everyone is running around with a smile on their face."
