History edit
The team was founded in 1951 as Dinamo Bârlad, being one of the subsidiary teams of Dinamo București under the tutelage of Miliția, and played in Bârlad Regional Championship. Dinamo won twice the regional championship, in 1951 and 1952 seasons, but lost every time the promotion to second division. In 1954, the second division team Dinamo Turnu Măgurele was moved to Bârlad and was absorbed into Dinamo Bârlad.[1][2]
The team played the next seasons in Divizia B, in which was ranked 8th (1954 and 1955), 10th (1956) and 6th (1957–58). Also, Dinamo reached the first round proper of Cupa României in 1955 season, losing 0–2 in front of Flacăra Ploiești. The lineup was composed of: Pahonțu – Fekete, Malinovski, Fiam – Apostolache, Bencze – Ionescu, Slumski, Iacob, Ciungu and Cioboată.[3]
In 1958, the club was taken over by the Bârlad Bearings Enterprise (Întreprinderea de Rulmenți Bârlad) and was renamed as Rulmentul Bârlad.[2] Followed three more seasons in Divizia B finishing 10th (1958–59), 12th (1959–60) and 14th (1960–61), relegating after seven years in the second division.
