Coming off a fifth place finish in 2024, the women’s squad will be targeting another strong outing in Division 1, once again spearheaded by world No. 23 Georgia Adderley. The team also welcomes back seasoned player Lisa Aitken, who recently triumphed in the PSA Challenger 9k Odense Open in Denmark, marking a remarkable comeback after overcoming injury challenges. Aitken’s return adds further depth to the experienced team, as they prepare to face France and Denmark in their opening fixtures. 

Looking Ahead

With a blend of emerging talent and seasoned expertise, both Scottish teams are poised to make a significant impact in this year’s championships. “It’s very exciting this year with the new format of the event,” said Scottish Squash Head Coach, Paul Bell. “We’ve got two really strong squads this year and it’s great to have Alan Clyne and Lisa Aitken back in the teams. It’s also very exciting to have young players in the teams and we are pleased to welcome debutant Rory Richmond who has well and truly earned his place following performances this season; he will be a great asset both now and in the future. We’re looking forward to heading to Poland and making our mark at the Championships.”
