Congratulations to Deborah Marcus who has been selected to play in the England team for the annual match against the Croquet Association of Ireland for the McWeeney Trophy.

The trophy was presented by Myles McWeeney in memory of his mother Vera (a club member since the 1920s who passed away in 1981) and is competed for annually; the trophy itself was originally his father’s cigar box.

Vera McWeeney herself was originally and tennis and Irish hockey player before becoming a sports journalist for the Irish Independent and Irish Times.
