SQUASH:Madeline Perry is back in Dublin this week aiming to complete what has been a hugely encouraging year on the professional squash circuit by winning her eighth title at the National Championships at Fitzwilliam, sponsored this year by Invest Like the Best, writes Mary Hannigan.

Sligo's Aisling Blake, ranked at 40 in the world, is seeded to meet Perry in the final in what would be a repeat of their first round World Open tie in Belfast recently, which Perry won 3-0.

Liam Kenny is top seed in the men's event, where veteran Derek Ryan and John Rooney, back in form after a year interrupted by illness, should be amongst his chief rivals.

The finals take place on Sunday.
