COATBRIDGE GAELIC FOOTBALL UNDER-14 GIRLS TEAM

That this House congratulates the Coatbridge Gaelic football under-14 girls team on becoming British champions following the girls' victory in the All-Britain Gaelic football underage championships; notes that these championships took place in London on 15 September 2012 and 60 teams competed; understands that the girls won all of their section matches prior to reaching the final, which was the first time that a team from Scotland has made that stage, and that, in the final, the team defeated a strong side; considers that this remarkable success was achieved thanks to the initiative of North Lanarkshire Leisure as, until 2006, youngsters in Coatbridge had no access to thesport; and wishes all of the Coatbridge Gaelic football teams, boys and girls, the greatest success in future competitions.
