The Dublin & District United Churches Indoor Bowling
Association which was established in 1963 grew out of a group of indoor bowling
clubs that had been playing each other on a regular, but informal basis for some
years in the 1950s.
The Rohu Cup was presented by Charles Rohu in 1965, during
the second year of the Association and is still awarded to the winners of the
senior competition. Mr. Rohu (d. July 1996, aged 99 years) was the second
Association President for the season 1965 - 1966.
In response to the enlarging membership of the Association, Sam
McIlwaine presented a cup in 1967 for a second division competition. Mr. McIlwaine
(d. 1982) was Association President for the season 1966 - 1967.
In 1970, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Price presented a cup for a competition
to be played for by those beginning to bowl, and to encourage players in a growing
Association. Mr. Price was Association President 1970 - 1972.

in 1971 for a cup presented by Stan Hope. Mr. Hope was Association President for the
