The former Nowra Anglican School siblings were named in the Brent Livermore's 35-player squad following a strong performance for Illawarra South Coast at the weekend's open men's field state championships.
The pair, along with Gerringong's Josh Mayo, helped ISC reach the final of the state titles, following wins against Nepean (10-nil), Northern Sydney and Beaches (9-nil), Central Coast (3-2) and Metro South West (3-2) and a draw against Lithgow (3-all) - but ISC progressed to the final after they finished the pool games in the higher position.
In the decider, ISC went down to Newcastle 3-2.
