Ulster Squash Refereeing – Update

Ulster Squash is committed to improving the standard of refereeing with a view to helping every squash player become a better, more confident referee.On Monday 13th February 2013 we hosted a unique Squash Refereeing Workshop in Belfast Boat Club. It was an opportunity to watch some of our top players in action, refereed by Ireland’s No. 1 referee – Joe Ruddy.The event was well attended, with attendees from many of our clubs. Everyone was entertained by some excellent squash from Zoe Barr, Joshua McVeigh, Adrian Leeson & David Ayerst. Joe Ruddy shared his wealth of refereeing experience, both during the games and also in the question & answers sessions that followed.In addition to the entertaining and educational content of the workshop, a draw was held for a £50 sports voucher. The draw prize was a joint contribution by Gotto Sports & Ulster Squash and the lucky winner was Stephen Hanna of Lagan Valley Squash Club.
