As the final preparations for tomorrow's first Maltahoops All Star Afternoon are being made, the rosters for the All-Star Game have been finalised.

The list of stars promises to make this an occasion to remember with the first ever Slam Dunk Competition, in particular, expected to attract the crowds to Ta' Qali. The whole event promises to be a great family outing with attractive spot prizes to be won, among which a diamond pendant worth over Lm500.

More importantly all proceeds will go towards the YMCA Homeless Shelter. As an expression of solidarity to such a good cause the All Star Afternoon participants have agreed to pay the entrance fee despite providing the entertainment themselves!
