Fast5 Netball is back on Sky Sports in October

The British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship returns to Copper Box Arena in October as eight of the best Superleague teams do battle.

Featuring 12-minute matches, an all-star 5-point line and a Golden Buzzer Power Play, the tournament is an all-action afternoon of non-stop, pulsating netball.

Teams have the opportunity to recruit two all-star players for the day, meaning a host of England Roses and international stars will be showcasing their talents as the top seven teams from the Netball Superleague join defending champions Loughborough Lightning in the hunt to be crowned 2018 All-Star Champions on Saturday, October 13.

Matchroom Sport chairman Barry Hearn said: "The first British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship was a tremendous success and we are delighted that the tournament will return in October.

"Last year's All-Stars saw Sky Sports bring in their highest ever viewing figures for netball and the feedback from those watching and the many who attended the event was overwhelmingly positive and it is exciting for netball that the Fast5 All-Stars will take place again this autumn.

"Loughborough Lightning really bought into the concept and it was fitting that one of their All-Star players Renske Stoltz collected the MVP award. The tournament is a great opportunity for Superleague teams and players to showcase their skills on a huge stage and take home a share of the record-breaking £100,000 prize fund."
