History.

Edwardian croquet was dominated by a group of brilliant Irish players, among them P. Duff Matthews, C. L. O'Callaghan and the Corbally brothers, Cyril and Herbert.
Cyril won the English Open Championship at his first attempt in 1902 and went on to win it a further 4 times in 6 attempts, although he only returned to play in England twice after the Great War. Many of his contemporaries considered him to be the supreme player of his generation. His brother Herbert, twice a Championship Cup player, was always prominent in the Irish Championships and Gold Medals during the same period
