Slam dunk for inaugural event

The west’s best basketball talent took to the court over the weekend.

The Westside Slam event hosted three-a-side or 3×3 tournaments across juniors and open men and women on Saturday, March 4 at Footscray’s Nicholson Street Mall.

Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter said they were delighted with the success of the event.

“Our thanks to the co-producers – the National Basketball League (NBL) and local business, Yours Truly Barber Shop – and everyone who supported the event by donating prizes, coming along as a spectator or player competing in the tournaments.

“We look forward to welcoming this event back next year.”

Star Weekly photographer Joe Mastroianni was courtside to capture the action.
