All Stars game set for the Banks's
Walsall All Stars are set to grace the Banks's Stadium again as they run out for charity.
Walsall All Stars are set to grace the Banks's Stadium again as they run out for charity.
They host Wolves All Stars tomorrow in a game for Sands - a still birth and neo-natal charity – which is being supported by Saddlers secretary Dan Mole and his wife Emma.
The couple lost a baby last summer and are trying to raise £10,000 for Sands to help anyone affected by the death of a baby.
Darren Wrack, Ron Green, Mark Kinsella and current assistant boss Jon Whitney will all feature in a match which could see Mole's fundraising efforts pass £5,000.
He and Emma have raised £4,427 for Sands with 25 per cent of all money going to the local Birmingham branch and the rest donated to the national division.
Mole said: "I feel a sense of achievement. When you are told £1,000 will keep a local centre running for a year, you think the money you are raising will help people for a long time.
"When you put it in to that context you start to realise what you are doing is going to have a real benefit.
"At the end we'll hopefully have raised £2,500 for them – that will be two-and-a-half years of funding."
Mole is also hoping for a bumper crowd for what is likely to be Wolves All Stars' last game, with boss Mel Eves set to quit.
Chasetown manager Charlie Blakemore, Tony Dinning, Lee Mills and Jamie Smith are set to turn out for Wolves.
Mole said: "I would be pleased with 500 fans. I've been at the ground in the last two weeks for the junior finals and Walsall Senior Cup and they have all averaged 400 to 500 so I don't see a reason why we can't match that.
"We've sold all 13 boxes so I'm really pleased with that and we've been ringing round the teams to make sure we've got a squad at least!"
The match kicks off at 7.30pm and costs £3 for adults and £1 for concessions with £1 to park at the Banks's Stadium.
