Two late-season 2020 events were held at Rushbrook Lawn Tenis and Croquet Club.
The first was a Friday New Members event and the second was the 24hr Niall Ahern Fundraiser for Marymount. This was a 24hr croquet and tennis event that many people supported. It was great to be able to have 24hr croquet included in this event, we raised over €3000 and attracted new croquet members who enjoyed themselves.
