England bound!

ENGLAND BOUND!

Moonee Valley's own Rex Bennett and Neil King are England-bound in June with the Australian Over 60s team, and leave in early June with 16 other players to do battle with the old enemy on their own turf.

Both Neil and Rex played in the victorous Victorian team at the national titles, and won through to the Australian team.

They have just been presented with their Australian blazers and other gear, which they will wear proudly in England. Neil and Rex (far right) show off their green and gold here.

Even though they're Victorian and Australian teammates, they lock horns during the regular Over 60s season - Neil playing with Essendon and Rex with Macedon Ranges.

Most of their Over 60s games are on Sundays - which is why you see Rex and Neil turning out with Moonee Valley for our Saturday fixtures, but they're rarely available to roll the arm over for us on Sundays.

We wish them all the best in representing Australia in the Old Dart - as we know they'll be representing Moonee Valley just as proudly over there!
