The President and Board of Irish Squash extend sympathy on the passing of Aidan Power to his wife Cathriona &Aidan Power children Ciara, Fiona & Thomas. 

Aidan was a massive part of running squash events in Connacht – junior, senior and masters, over the past 15 years. He served as President of Connacht Squash for many years. Aidan instigated programs to encourage ladies squash, was always beyond generous with his time and dedication behind the scenes. One of the most supportive members Galway LTC has ever had. A complete gentleman and an outstanding competitor.
