Jennifer Haggerty is possibly more active than most 11-year-olds, as she excels in athletics, dancing and football – and has just added the Gaelic version of the sport to an already packed schedule.
Jennifer was the top primary 7 pupil in North and South Lanarkshire for cross country earlier this month, shortly before heading to Ribby Hall in Preston for a Dance Nation competition, which saw her return to Coatbridge with five trophies, adding to the “200 or 300” already in her collection.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jennifer joined Airdrie club Gartcairn six months ago, and in that time has graduated from under-10s to under-14s. And the St Bartholomew’s Primary pupil has recently started back at Gaelic football at St Ambrose High in Coatbridge.
