Test cricket for over-70s
Former Peninsula cricket players Gordon Ives and John Fogarty will travel to England in August as part of the Australian Over-70s cricket side.
The two men had previously featured in the Central Coast Over-60s cricket side's eight wicket win over the Southern Highlands.
Gordon, 70, and John, 71, said they loved their cricket and, while both Sydney born, have played and lived on the Central Coast since 1972.
Gordon played with Umina Cricket Club and John with Woy Woy Cricket Club.
They have both been involved with over-60s cricket since it started up in 2005 and said they would be proud to represent the area and the country, especially as this was something of a historic encounter.
It is the first ever Over-70s Test Series between England and Australia.
