Summary
A quirky and surprisingly popular sport known as Trugo has its roots in the hidden gems of Melbourne's inner west. Once played by railway workers as a simple game with rubber buffer rings, it has evolved into a lively friendly competition today, with nearly 100 players from nine clubs competing on grass courts, all while paying homage to the city’s working-class history.
