How to create a list of matrix in R

I want to create a list of 2D matrices

> x
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    7
[3,]    3    8
[4,]    4    9
[5,]    5   10

> y
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]  301  306
[2,]  302  307
[3,]  303  308
[4,]  304  309
[5,]  305  310

> MATS<-c(x,y)

> MATS[1]
[1] 1

I would like to be able to refer to MATS[1] as if it where x...
