Stynes and Prince wow the crowds Down Under

AN Irishman showing a British prince how to play Australian Rules, you couldn’t make it up.

Yesterday Dublin’s Jim Stynes, president of the Melbourne Football Club, spent the afternoon showing Prince William the finer points of the Aussie game at the badly hit flood village of Murrabit, in northern Victoria.

With the Queen visiting Ireland later this year it was a momentous encounter and Stynes didn’t miss a beat.
