The three amigos were selected after competing at the Hockey NSW State Championships.
Dave Rake travelled to Taree to compete in over 50s, while Dale and Dave Dedman competed at Wollongong in the over 45s.
While in Wollongong the 45s were involved in a bus accident (not their fault), which saw a number of players injured, and two hospitalised.
Despite this Dale and Dave impressed the selectors enough to gain a spot in the NSW squad.
Dave Rake will play in the NSW over 50s team as a striker while Valla Beach’s Dave Dedman will run out for the State over 45s a midfielder and Dale will don the goalie gear.
