During the balance of the day, our tour of the fields for the other age groups turned up great competition for all involved.  The Saturday games were followed by the main event, the MLL All-Star Game at FAU Stadium, where the Old School Stars took on the Young Guns.  An enthusiastic crowd of over 4,000 watched a spirited game, and an entertaining halftime included individual competitive events between the All-Stars.  At the end of the game, the Old School Stars prevailed 18-17.
