Dublin University Ladies Boat Club (DULBC) is a Competitive rowing sports club in Dublin, Ireland. It is the Ladies' Rowing club of Trinity College Dublin, often informally called "Trinity Ladies" rowing club.〔http://www.ducac.tcdlife.ie/clubs/〕 The club colours are black and pink with white 'TRINITY' lettering and a shield bearing the arms of Trinity College.〔http://www.rowingireland.ie/clubs-details/〕 DULBC is affiliated with Rowing Ireland and is the sister club of Dublin University Boat Club (DUBC). DULBC share DUBC's Islandbridge Boathouse. Many experienced joiners have learned their trade at local clubs such as Commercial and Neptune. The Ladies Boat Club uses the Trinity Boat House to store equipment and for training. This Boat House dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and is located just inside the surrounds of War Memorial Park at Islandbridge. ==History== In 1930, a group of undergraduate female rowers in Trinity requested permission to set up a rowing club. A supportive TCD news editorial at the time stated that ''rowing was an excellent sport and in every way suited to woman's physique''. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and many joined outside clubs instead. A TCD women's rowing team did not appear until the 1960s.〔Parks, Susan M. (2004), ''A Danger to the Men? A History of Women in Trinity College Dublin: 1904-2004'', The Lilliput Press, Dublin, pp126-127,〕 But it wasn't until 1975 that a formal decision was taken to "allow" women to row competitively for Trinity. David Sanfey was Captain of DUBC at the time and in 1976, the Dublin University Ladies Boat Club (DULBC) was formally established. The club's formation was driven by Jane Williams, who became the new Club’s first Captain.〔DUBC Bulletin, 1977 edition〕 The seventies and early eighties was an era when there was still some resistance to women's rowing within established clubs.〔DUBC Bulletin, 1980 edition〕 The first 'Colours Rowing Challenge' between UCD Women's Boat Club and DULBC took place in 1980.〔Irish Times, March 24, 1980 "Girls of Trinity and UCD in New Challenge"〕 The so-called Corcoran Cup has taken place every year since. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dublin University Ladies Boat Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
