Over the past few weeks, I have been busily collating as much information as possible about the players who have represented WA at the EIRE Cup. In all, 101 individuals have had the honour of making their debuts for Western Australia.
A special thanks to the individuals and clubs who have taken the time to scour their club cupboards and walls looking for those illusive photos for me. They have unearthed some cracking images of times past. Andrew and Co from Bayswater, Wendy and Michael from Nedlands, Kay from Geraldton, Megan from East Fremantle and the team at Como who have the most organised photo collection I have come across.
Of the 101 players, there are only 13 individual images left to locate. If you happen to come across one, or have a better image of the players than the ones we have found, I would love to get a copy so that I can improve on what we have.
I have also rearranged the website a little and have a new History section so be sure to check it out.
Finally, a note of thanks to Marty who is the font of all knowledge when it comes to croquet. We are indeed lucky to have someone who has taken the time to catalogue our history.
