Madeline Perry Testimonial

The board of IRISH SQUASH are organising a Testimonial for Madeline on the occasion of her retirement from professional squash.

Madeline has been Ireland’s most successful women player, having played professionally since 1999. She reached a career high of Number 3 in the world in 2010. She stayed in the top 10 in the world rankings for most of her professional career, right up to her retirement this year. She played for IRELAND over 130 times and won a silver and bronze medal with Ireland in the European Championships within the last 3 years.

Indeed she is one of Ireland’s most successful Sportswomen and has been a monthly winner of the Irish Times Sportswomen Awards 8 times out the last 10. She won the award for May this year, having won the Irish Open again (for the 6th time) in April. In February she won her 15th national title, a truly amazing achievement.
So it is only appropriate that the family of squash in Ireland, honour one of best players, to ever have come out of Ireland.

Saturday 21st November @ Fitzwilliam LTC, Dublin is the date & venue. A match vs the World No. 4 Alison Waters of England is the main event, with a mixed doubles match also involving Brian Byrne & Derek Ryan taking place after the singles game. All the squash is followed by a buffet supper with the evening finished off with a auction of sporting memorabilia.
