Squash Ireland has reiterated its call for clubs from around the country to nominate members for the Federation of Irish Sport 2025 Volunteers in Sport Awards. Entries close on December 15th, with an awards ceremony to follow in Dublin in February.

Dave Broderick, the Squash Ireland club and community development officer, said: “At this time of the year, the sporting community in Ireland pauses to recognise our fantastic volunteer base without whom our many and varied sports simply would not work.

“As a squash community, the Federation of Irish Sport 2025 Volunteers in Sport Awards is our chance to turn to our own volunteers and say, ‘Thank you. Tremendous job this year!’

“We invite all clubs and provincial associations to participate. As a smaller sport, this is a big opportunity for squash to highlight itself positively and for volunteers in our sport to be thanked for their tireless and selfless work promoting and delivering squash activity day-to-day, week-to-week, year in and year out. 

“Our sport has its heroes – and we’d like you to tell us who they are. Category winners will be invited to the awards reception in February and all clubs that nominate a volunteer will be entered into a draw for a €250 voucher as a way of saying thank you for supporting this initiative.”
