Top seeds Ong Beng Hee and Madeline Perry claimed the titles in the Irish Open after marathon finals at the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club in Dublin.

Dublin-born Madeline Perry thrilled the packed audience by bringing the women's title back home after two years in Dutch hands. The 28-year-old Irish National champion took the first game easily 9-4. But her Netherlands opponent Annelize Naude, the No2 seed, powered her way through the next two games to go 2/1 up.

Perry retained the initiative to level the match and force the final into a decider. The fifth game became a very contentious affair with most points being replayed on let decisions. However, Perry finally came through to take the match 9-4 2-9 7-9 9-4 9-6 in 90 minutes - one of the longest women's matches on record.

The triumph marked Perry's second WISPA World Tour title of the year, and the fourth of her career.

The men's final produced a confidence-boosting win for former world junior champion Ong Beng Hee. The UK-based Malaysian was stretched for 75 minutes by third seed Laurens Jan Anjema, the fast-improving 22-year-old Dutchman who knocked out second seed Alex Gough in the previous round.

But Beng Hee ultimately prevailed 11-9 7-11 11-7 11-4 to claim his first PSA Tour title of the year and the ninth of his career.
