Dublin University Fencing Club Details
Founded in 1774 and reconstituted in 1936, Dublin University Fencing Club (DUFC) is the fencing club of the University of Dublin, Trinity College, located in Dublin, Ireland. Its members are students, alumni and staff from Trinity College with a small amount of visiting fencers from other clubs. The club has maintained its status as a centre of excellence throughout its existence, and in recent years has consistently ranked at the top of the national club medal table in Ireland. During the 2017/18 season, Dublin University Fencing Club became part of the Trinity Sport high-performance programme, giving its first team access to additional strength and conditioning coaching, physiotherapy, anti-doping and nutritional expertise.DUFC prides itself not only in cultivating world-class athletes but in remaining a largely student-run club, with its committee and alumni board consistently demonstrating the best practices amongst sporting institutions.
