The Judith Goadby Memorial Award is in memory of Judith Goadby, an enthusiastic, tireless and much loved member of the Victorian Masters Squash and the Australian Masters Squash families, who passed away suddenly in 1999. Judith was a key member of both the Victorian and Australian Masters Squash Associations and a Board Member of the Victorian Squash Federation and Vice President of Squash Australia.

Her love and enthusiasm for squash and the spirit in which she played the sport, endeared her to all. Judith embodied all that Masters Squash continues to strive for. In all associations there are people like Judith who are dedicated and make significant and important contributions to Masters Squash.

The Award is awarded to a player who embodies the spirit and enthusiasm Judith had for Masters Squash as a lower grade player, not necessarily a winner, and also an administrator.
