WHAT DOES TRUGO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

trugo

Trugo

Trugo, or alternatively TruGo, is a sport or game said to have been invented in the Newport Railway Workshops in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, by railway workers in the 1920s. The first club was in the suburb of Yarraville. The requirements for the sport were based on what the railway workers could find: the length of the pitch was the length of a carriage, the goalpost width was the distance between seats, the mallet was a sledge hammer, and the black rings were an internal component of buffers. 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 with a mallet though a pair of goal posts. The player stands on a rubber mat and is facing away from the goals, feet either side of the wheel. The short handled mallet is swung between the player's legs to strike the wheel. 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.

Definition of trugo in the English dictionary

The definition of trugo in the dictionary is a game similar to croquet, originally improvised in Victoria from the rubber discs used as buffers on railway carriages.
