Agnes Morrison, usually referred to as Miss A.B.Morrison, was a Victorian and Australian player and administrator. Agnes was a member of the Australian MacRobertson Shield team in 1935 and 1937, including the match against Ireland that brought about the winning of the Eire Cup, later to be used as the trophy to establish an interstate competition in Association Croquet in Australia. Agnes was also a driving force in the formation of the Australian Croquet Council, this being no mean feat to establish a national body from scratch. She was also a member of the Victorian state team in the trial interstate events of 1948 and 1949,before being a member of the team in the ACC sanctioned official Eire Cup in 1950, 1951 as manager and in 1952, all of these years as captain. She was capable of performing the triple peel in games {some 30 years before this became the norm in top level Australian Croquet} and in demonstration to budding players.
