Hurrah!
Four of our players have been selected in the National Team to compete for the Grey Ashes in the UK in July and August this year.
Well done to Peter Judd, who has been named Vice-Captain, Tim Pellen, Mark Trafford-Walker and newcomer Dale Bateman. This is a wonderful recognition of the skill and performances of these four players and we join in congratulating them on their splendid selection.
VCA President, Rob Sims, commends them with the following statement:
"The team includes a number of players who will be vying for their first Australian cap on tour or earning a new cap number in the over 60's after coming through our very successful over 50's national and international programs. With the inclusion of some of the new team members, this is arguably the strongest team we have put together on any home or away tour and we congratulate each and every one of the players for their inclusion and the selectors for their diligence and hard work. We also wish to thank all players who nominated and were not included in this squad at this time, but we encourage them to stay fit and well as through historical knowledge we do know that at times not all selected players make the tour for varied reasons so a late opportunity may come knocking"
