The NSW Police team didn't drop the ball and again took first place, after it secured the win in the inaugural 2014 comp and took the lead before inclement weather finished the game early last year.
Acting commander of the Hume Local Area Command Acting Superintendent Andrew Koutsoufis said the police team had a fantastic day with all of the other emergency services.
"It was a great opportunity for the community to come down and interact with local emergency workers at a beautiful location and fantastic facility," he said.
Bowral Police Inspector John Klepczarek said the police team was closely followed by NSW Fire and Rescue, which took second place.
"What was clear this year was that all agencies have increased the standard of cricket from the first year," he said.
"As the prestige of the event increases, it's clear that so too has the standard.
"The RFS team provided great entertainment on the day, with particular thanks to 14-year-old junior member Jake Cutmore who took three wickets in a row for his side."
This year's Triple Zero Challenge efforts were in support of the Southern Highlands Suicide Prevention Program, which provides support and resources to the local community to help prevent suicide.
A final fundraising total is expected to be confirmed early next week.
Southern Highland News reporter Victoria Lee attended the game to capture the action.
