She then played the relatively new sport of squash winning the Irish Open championships in 1964 and 1968 and playing for Ireland 26 times.She went on to dedicate an immense amount of time to the administration of squash, running the Leagues and producing the calender of events for the season. At the height of women's squash in Ulster there were about 50 teams and 8 leagues. She was a selector and also was involved with administration of Irish Squash. Dorothy presented the trophy for the Irish Open women's title in the mid 1960's. It is still being used today, and some of the best women's squash players in the world have their name on it.
