Did you know?

Trugo originated at the Newport Railway Workshops in the 1920s, when railway workers turned discarded train buffer rings and mallets into a lunchtime game.

And just like that, Trugo was born!

A unique piece of Melbourne’s west, bringing people together for generations.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the Footscray Trugo Club Open Day on Sunday 30 August. More than 100 people, aged from 4 to 80 years old, came along to explore the facilities and have a “tonk”!

Attendees were also treated to a history lesson from Victoria Trugo Association President Paul Thomas, who shared stories of the sport’s origins and its emergence from the West’s rail yards.

For more information, email Footscray Trugo Club at [email protected] or follow them on Facebook.
