The European Squash Federation has launched its study on women and young referees in squash public survey.
The study is conducted within the SPIRIT Erasmus+ project, which aims to improve mentoring, reduce dropout, address abuse, and strengthen development pathways in refereeing.
This short, anonymous questionnaire seeks to understand your motivation, access to support and training, and the challenges you may face. Your answers will contribute to the design of mentoring programs, training resources, and European-level recommendations to improve refereeing conditions.
This project is designed to complement the strategic objectives of the European Squash Federation (ESF) and the World Squash Officiating (WSO). The findings will be shared with these governing bodies to ensure that the tools developed through SPIRIT align with and support the global refereeing pathway and WSO standards.
What is SPIRIT?
SPIRIT is the European Squash Federation’s project to achieve greater diversity in squash refereeing. Its focus areas are recruitment, retention and career progression of female squash officials.
Co-funded by Erasmus+ (the EU programme that supports education, training, youth and sport in Europe) SPIRIT will assess the current barriers and challenges women face in refereeing, and use these insights to develop targeted training, mentorship and support programmes.
SPIRIT will provide practical, structured pathways for women in officiating, ensuring sustainable change that long outlives the project.
How will SPIRIT work?
1. Understand
Through surveys, focus groups and a research report, we’ll produce the first European overview on women in squash refereeing.
2. Design
We’ll shape a referee training curriculum for new and existing women officials that addresses current challenges and helps create a more inclusive and supportive environment.
3. Test
The curriculum will be rigorously tested in two physical pilots by Czech Squash and Squash Ireland and will be open to women referees from across Europe.
4. Share
To help make it useful for everyone, we’ll produce a practical toolkit, policy report, and a multiplier event open to every ESF Member Nation.
Who will deliver SPIRIT?
– European Squash Federation (ESF) – with the project led by Catherine Ezvan, ESF Vice-President and Chair of the ESF Refereeing Committee.
– International Federation for Sports Officials (IFSO) – providing expertise on officiating in all sports and dissemination of the project’s findings across other sporting organisations
– Natsionalna Sportna Akademiya Vassil Levski (NSA) – Bulgaria-based specialists in research, administration and project organisation in sport
– Czech Squash Association and Squash Ireland – two ESF Member Nation Federations who will be involved during the pilot test phase of the project
– Additionally, renowned referees Andrea Santamaria, Roy Gingell and Marko Podgorsek will act as mentors, coaches and role models to the participants.
The project began on 1 January 2026 and initial outcomes will be presented at the ESF AGM in 2027.
Paul Nugent will retire from Squash Ireland on August 1st this year. The current chief operations officer began working with the sport’s national governing body in October 2013, joining as operations manager, and he was the sole employee for much of his 13 years.
CEO Scott Graham said: “Everyone at Squash Ireland wishes Paul well in his retirement. Paul has put in an outstanding shift for Squash Ireland, with over a decade of service.
“For much of that time, Paul acted as the sole staff member, covering all manner of duties and working closely with a volunteer board.
“I want to thank Paul personally for his support and assistance when I joined Squash Ireland. Paul was, and often still is, the go-to person, as he has a deep understanding of how the organisation and the sport in Ireland have operated over the past 13 years.
“Despite Paul’s planned retirement, I am sure we will see him regularly at squash tournaments over the coming years, as he is a friend to so many within the squash community.”
Nugent added: “It has been a labour of love working in sport and especially in squash over the past few years. The time has flown by and during that time, I have been lucky enough to enjoy the sport from within.
“Thank you all for your help and courtesy over that time. Squash is truly one of the best sports in the world, and I wish the members of Squash Ireland all the best in the future.
“I will, of course, continue to keep a keen interest and hope to see many of you at tournaments over the coming years.”
World-class professional squash has finished its two-week visit to Ireland, but that won’t be the end of the razzamatazz as Rory Gillen, a great friend of Squash Ireland, has organised for a 25-strong group of teenage players from around the country to visit next week’s British Open in Birmingham.
England’s Samuel Osborne-Wylde triumphed at the $15K West of Ireland Open in Galway on May 16th. This successful five-day event was then followed by the five-day Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open in Dublin.
The Copper status tournament, where both the men’s and women’s sections had an equal prize fund of $41,500 each, culminated in titles last Saturday for England’s Sam Todd, the PSA No.43, and Egypt’s Nadien Elhammamy, the PSA women’s No.42.
The tournaments at Galway LTC and Fitzwilliam LTC featured coaching clinics where some professional players tutored junior players, and this fantastic type of relationship will now continue in the UK as a PSA training session has been arranged with coach Rob Owen and Johah Bryant, the current men’s No.10, across a two-day trip, starting on June 4th.
Aside from what will be an invaluable training session, the group of Irish U13 and U15 players from the Belfast, Celtic, Fitzwilliam, Galway, Limerick, Mount Pleasant, Sutton and Windsor clubs will have their flights, hotels, bus transfers and tickets to the British Open quarter-finals sponsored by Gillen.
Dave Broderick, the Squash Ireland club and community development lead, will head up the travelling party, and he will be supported on the trip by Paul Conroy, Roisin O’Shea and Andrew Gillespie.
England’s Sam Todd and Egypt’s Nadien Elhammamy have been crowned Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open champions following Saturday’s finals in Dublin.
Todd, the PSA No.43, was a comfortable 3-0 winner over Ryunosuke Tsukue, the PSA No.61, in the men’s final but Elhammamy, the PSA No.42, upset the odds in the women’s final, holding her nerve after losing a 2-0 lead to clinch a 3-2 victory in the fifth game (11-8) against Nada Abbas, the PSA No.16.
The 23-year-old Todd had talked on Friday night in the wake of his 3-1 semi-final win over Emyr Evans, the PSA No.75 from Wales, about not letting his thoughts get carried away when playing in the final.
Previous deciders, he explained, had been lost because he was not fully clued into his task; however, this issue was rectified against Tsukue, and an 11-8 win in the first game was pivotal in the No. 4 seed taking command against the No.6.
“I’m happy with that performance,” said Todd in the aftermath of victory in the Copper status tournament, where both the men’s and women’s sections had an equal prize fund of $41,500 each.
“It’s my first world tour title, so it’s good to get one of them over the line. I had been in a couple of finals of these events, but I always missed out and lost.
“For this one, I was very nervous and was just so focused on not looking at the outcome too much and just focusing on one rally at a time.
“I felt like once I got the first game under my belt, it just relaxed me a little bit and I was able to push on. Very happy to close out in three against a tricky opponent.”
The 18-year-old Elhammamy was just as chuffed that she got the job done in her final. The No.5 seed demonstrated her growing confidence in the senior ranks when competently defeating Zeina Mickawy, the No.2 seed and PSA No.30, 3-0 in Friday’s semi-final.
That was Elhammamy’s first time playing fellow Egyptian Mickawy, and this same scenario presented itself in the final, a first-time clash with Abbas, another Egyptian who was seeded No.1 in Dublin where she had won the tournament in 2024.
Elhammamy came out firing, jumping into a 2-0 lead, and she then held her nerve to secure a 3-2 victory after Abbas had fought her way back. “I’m very happy,” she enthused. “This match was one of the best matches I have played in my life.
“I was 2-0 up and doing so well and then in the third game she played well and I lost that one. Then in the fourth, I was 7-2 up, lost my focus a little bit and she kept coming back.
“She is definitely a fighter, and I am just so glad I kept my focus in the fifth game and was able to pull through. I am very glad with my overall performance throughout the whole tournament.”

Saturday’s Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open finals in Dublin will feature an all-Egyptian women’s decider followed by an unexpected English-Japanese men’s showdown.
Women’s No.1 Nada Abbas, the Irish Open title winner in 2024, will face teen sensation Nadien Elhammamy after the 18-year-old PSA No.5 impressively took out No.2 seed Zeina Mickawy, the PSA No.30.
Fifth seed Elhammamy, the PSA No.42, had never played Mickawy before, but she made light work of their first encounter, winning 3-0 to book another first-time date with Abbas, who had to dig deep in her semi-final to progress.
Up against Nardine Garas, the PSA No.38, Abbas jumped into a 2-0 lead, but she then lost her way and was reeled in level before eventually winning the fifth game 11-4.
The men’s showpiece will be a clash between No.4 Sam Todd and No.6 Ryunosuke Tsukue.
English player Todd, the PSA No.43, was a solid 3-1 winner over Emyr Evans, the unseeded Welsh PSA No.75, who blew the tournament open on Wednesday when he ambushed Greg Lobban, the PSA No.26 Scot who was the defending Irish Open champion.
No.2 seed Matias Knudsen was expected to make the final. However, in another result reflective of the overall high level of competition in Dublin, the PSA No.47 from Colombia was picked off 3-1 by Ryunosuke Tsukue, the PSA No.61 from Japan.

Day three Thursday at the Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open in Dublin produced an all-Egyptian women’s semi-final line-up, while #2 men’s seed Matias Knudsen showed his title credentials with victory in a match that was the third longest of the 40 played at the tournament so far.
With Egyptian players making up the top seven seeds in the women’s draw, it was always likely they would dominate the business end of the 2026 event, and so it has proved despite Wednesday’s brilliant round two shock result featuring Ireland’s Breanne Flynn, the PSA #97, eliminating Habiba Hani, the women’s No.7 seed & PSA No.49.
That earned the local favourite a quarter-final against Nada Abbas, the #No.1 seed and PSA No.16. The Egyptian, the Irish Open title winner in 2024, registered a 3-0 win but not before Flynn showed examples of her huge strides this past year, including threatening to take game two and levelling a match that finished 11-6, 11-8, 11-7.
It was New Zealand’s Joelle King, the ex-world #3 who is now PSA #73, who came closest to breaking the Egyptian semi-final monopoly as the #8 seed had match point in the fourth game against Zeina Mickawy, the #2 seed and PSA #30.
Mickawy survived that scare, going on to seal a 3-2 win following a hard-fought fifth game that ended 11-9. She will now take on Nadien Elhammamy, the #5 seed and PSA #42, in the semi-finals after Elhammamy defeated fellow Egyptian Hana Ramadan, the #3 seed and PSA #32, 3-1 in their quarter-final.
Nardine Garas, the #4 seed and PSA #38, is also through to the semi-finals, qualifying with a strong 3-1 win over Kaitlyn Watts, the PSA #73 from New Zealand.
Japan’s Ryunosuke Tsukue, the #6 seed and PSA #61, was the first player to win through to the men’s semi-finals, enjoying a comfortable 3-0 win over England’s Finnlay Withington, the PSA #65. Next up was Knudsen, the Colombian ranked PSA #47.
Between an injury stoppage and plenty of court service, his 3-1 win over the acrobatic Sanjay Jeeva, the #7 seed and PSA #63 from Malaysia, took 72 minutes to complete.
England’s Sam Todd, the #4 seed and PSA #43, was another 3-1 quarter-final winner, getting the better of Portugal’s Rui Soares, the PSA #88.
In the final match of a lengthy Thursday at Fitzwilliam, Emyr Evans, the PSA #75 from Wales, followed up his shock elimination of Greg Lobban, the defending Irish Open champion from Scotland, with a 3-1 success over England’s Perry Malik, the PSA #64.

Six of the 16 seeded players – including defending men’s champion Greg Lobban – were unceremoniously dumped from the Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open on a Wednesday packed with shock results in Dublin.
Four of the eight men’s seeds and two of the eight women’s seeds exited the Copper status event when losing their first matches following their round one byes on Tuesday.
The Wednesday hit list at Fitzwilliam included Egypt’s Habiba Hani, the #7 seed & PSA #49, who found Ireland’s Breanne Flynn, the PSA #97, far too hot to handle.
Flynn fought back from an initial slow start in game one to take a 2-0 lead. A couple of match points were then spurned in the third, which allowed Hani to halve the deficit in the 13-15 tiebreaker, but the Irish No.2 wasn’t to be denied as she powered her way through the fourth game to secure a deserved 3-1 success.
It was one of the greatest wins in the soon-to-be 31-year-old’s career, but she now has the opportunity to even better that achievement as she will face Nada Abbas, who is the women’s #1 seed and PSA #16, in Thursday’s quarter-finals.
The top-seeded Egyptian – the Irish Open title winner in 2024 – began her latest Dublin run with a 3-0 win over New Zealand’s Ella Jane Lash, the #83, not long after Zeina Mickawy, another of the large Egyptian contingent at the 2026 event, survived a real scare against Malaysia’s Ainaa Amani.
The #54 took a 2-0 lead and battled gamely from there, including having match point in the fourth, but the #2 seed and PSA #30 eventually got over the line 3-2.
Mickawy’s match was the reverse of what happened later in the day to her fellow countrywoman Haya Ali. The #6 seed and PSA #46 took a 2-0 lead against Kaitlyn Watts, the #73 from New Zealand, but then lost two tiebreaks and then the fifth game 11-6 to make a 3-2 exit.
Switching to the men’s section, the #1, #3, #5 and #8 seeds all fell by the wayside over the course of a spectacular day.
The top-seeded Lobban, the PSA #26, survived several match points to win the third game 18-16 in his feisty clash with Emyr Evans, the #75 from Wales.
However, the 2025 Irish Open champion was ultimately outmanoeuvred in the fourth, leaving Evans to progress to a quarter-final against England’s Perry Malik, the PSA #64, who was awarded a 3-0 win when #8 seed and PSA #83, America’s Shahjahan Khan, retired injured with their first game tied at 9-all.
The unseeded Finnlay Withington, the PSA #64, convincingly won his all-English encounter 3-0 against Patrick Rooney, the #3 seed & PSA #40.
There was also a 3-0 win for the unseeded Rui Soares, the PSA #88 from Portugal, against Adrian Waller, the #5 seed and PSA #56 from England.

Breanne Flynn lit up Tuesday’s opening round at the Quilter Cheviot Cannon Kirk Irish Open with a thrilling 3-2 win over Margot Prow of the Bahamas in the women’s draw.
The Irish No.2, who this week learned she had achieved a career best #97 PSA ranking, jumped into a 2-0 (11-4, 11-6) lead in her match against the #71.
Prow, who enjoyed a 3-2 Winter Open semi-final win last December over Irish No.1 Hannah Craig in Edmonton, hit back to level the match at two-all, but Flynn dug deep to take the decisive fifth game 11-5 and book a round two clash on Wednesday against Habiba Hani, the Egyptian who is the PSA #49 and the Irish Open seventh seed.
Flynn was one of four Irish players in opening round action at Fitzwilliam in the Copper status event where the women’s and men’s events have an equal prize fund of $41,500 each.
Hannah McGugan, the PSA #213 and a third-place finisher at the Irish Senior Nationals in February, came out firing in her clash with Jessica van der Walt, the #66 from Australia. She took the first game 11-7 and battled hard in what followed before giving way 3-1.
Switching to the men’s section, Irish No.2 Conor Moran, the PSA #155, lost out 3-1 to Scotland’s Rory Scott, the #82, and Michael Creaven, the #331 who was third in this year’s Nationals, went down 3-0 to Leandro Romiglio, the #78 from Argentina.
After eight round one matches in each of the men’s and women’s sections, the seeded players will join the tournament in Wednesday’s round two after their byes on Tuesday.
Men’s top seed Greg Lobban, the PSA #26 from Scotland who was the 2025 Irish Open winner, will open his title defence versus Emyr Evans, the #75 from Wales, who was a semi-finalist in last week’s 15K West of Ireland Open in Galway.
Egypt’s Nada Abbas, the PSA #16 and No.1 women’s seed in Dublin, will open her account versus Ella Jane Lash, the #83 from New Zealand.
