Trugo is a sport invented in the railway repair workshops of

Newport in the Western suburbs of Melbourne by railway

workers in the 1920s. Trugo is similar to the following

sports: croquet, lawn bowls and wood chopping.

Played outdoors on a green similar to that used for Lawn

bowls, the objective of the game is to score goals or points

by striking a rubber ring (wheel) with a mallet though a pair

of goal posts.

The player stands on a rubber mat and is facing away fromthe goals, feet either side of the wheel. The short handled

mallet is swung between the player's legs to strike the

wheel ('tunnelling style'). The player's opponent ensures

that the wheel is safely contained by collecting it in a

canvas bag attached to a long pole once the wheel has

passed the goal line. The players swap roles after four

wheels have been struck by the first player. Each player

has 24 shots, 12 from each end. The player or team with

the most goals at the end of the playing period is declared

the winner.

 

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 

John Jaques the second made the first official rules and

regulations in croquet around 1862 and had begun at The

Great Exhibition hall in London in 1851

Play is conducted by striking the ball with a mallet. A

striker is not allowed to hit an opponent's ball with his

mallet. Play order is determined by ball color, blue, red,

black and yellow. A coin toss determines playing order. A

player gets one shot unless she hits her ball through awicket or causes her ball to hit another ball. Going through

a wicket nets the player receives another shot. Hitting

another player's ball nets two extra shots--one made after

placing the striker ball in contact with the hit ball, and the

other to continue play, according to USCA rules.

Croquet is similar to the following sports: wood chopping,

Trugo and lawn bowls.

Bowls historians believe that the game

developed from the Egyptians. One of their

pastimes was to play skittles with round

stones. This has been determined based on

artefacts found in tombs dating circa 5,000

B.C. The sport spread across the world and

took on a variety of forms, Bocce (Italian),

Bolla (Saxon), Bolle (Danish), Boules (French)

and Ula Maika (Polynesian). The oldest Bowlsgreen still played on is in Southampton, England

where records show that the green has been in

operation since 1299 A.D. One player will

throw a small, white ball called "the jack." The

initial jack is decided by coin toss, then by

whoever is in the lead concluding each round.

Players then take turns throwing their bowls,

which are weighted (and slightly lopsided), up

the green. The goal is to score points by

getting your bowls closest to the jack. The

bowls can be tossed with a forehand orbackhand motion, and the odd weighting of the

bowls will cause them to roll in a curved path.
