'Bendy' on the footy field!!

Out of the kitchen, onto the footy field for Masterchef's Ben and Andy

Weary and sore MasterChef duo Ben Milbourne and Andy Allen ran off the field at Girdlestone Park triumphant with the pair successfully contributing to East Devonport's Reserves runaway win over Ulverstone.

Andy, in his first AFL game ever, walked away with a big smile on his face and one goal for the four quarters.

 Ben and Andy played all four quarters of football and said they were a bit tired and sore for the effort.

``I'm now a big advocate for preseason,'' Ben laughed.

``I wont be able to walk for a week,'' Andy added.

The boys fitted in quite well with the other East Devonport lads and never once looked out of place, taking it all in with ease.

Ben said he was proud of best friend Andy and said his favourite part of the game was seeing his friend kick his first AFL goal.

``I was hoping that he'd kick one.''

 Andy said he enjoyed every facet of the game and said that he would definitely play again.

``I loved every minute of it.''

Fellow contestant Beau Cook was also in on the NTFL action, watching the game and chatting with the members of the crowd.

``We didn't get any sledging,'' Ben said.

``Beau was the only one slinging abuse,'' he laughed.

``He followed us all around the ground bagging us out.''
