Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Roller_Derby:
Dublin Roller Derby (DRD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Dublin, Ireland. Founded in 2009, Dublin Roller Derby is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The Dublin Roller Girls were the first roller derby league to form in Ireland. Their intra-league bout in June 2011 was the first public roller derby in the country. In their first bouting season, the Dublin Roller Girls played seven bouts, scoring four wins.
Nine skaters from the league were selected for Team Ireland at the Roller Derby World Cup in 2011, while Dublin also supplied the head coach and the manager for the team. In early 2012, they moved to the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght. That year, Dublin's A team played ten bouts with seven wins. The B team also started bouting for the first time, playing 5 bouts and winning 3.
Founded in 2009 as Dublin Roller Girls (DRG), on 19 March 2013 the league announced via its Facebook page that they had changed their name to Dublin Roller Derby. In October 2013, Dublin was accepted as a member of the WFTDA Apprentice Programme, and in December 2014, Dublin was accepted as a full member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. As of 2017, the league consists of three home teams, and three travel teams that play teams from other leagues.
