GEORGIA WALTERS has been crowned Nationwide Hotshot for season 2002/2003.
The 10-year-old from Wroughton came top of the female under 10 category in Nationwide's competition to find the football fan with the fastest shot.
Georgia, a pupil at Wroughton Junior School and a Manchester United supporter, blazed her shot at 39.3mph and at the time she was only nine years of age!
Throughout last season, the Nationwide Hotshots initiative travelled the country equipped with a goal and a radar gun to record the speed of shots by football fans.
Everyone who took a shot had their speed and name transferred through a unique computer program, which compiled the scores in categorised league tables.
Georgia recorded her winning hotshot at the County Ground at the end of March.
That was the day that she attend ed the Ladies FA Cup Final between Fulham and Arsenal and took part in the competition.
Georgia's prize for winning the national female under 10 table is a signed England shirt from Nationwide, who are an official partner of the England team.
"Georgia only found out a couple of days ago that she had won," said proud mum Denise.
"She had forgotten completely about the competition but when she found out she had won she was over the moon.
"To have a signed shirt with the likes of David Beckham and Michael Owen's signatures is a wonderful prize although her favourite footballer is Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"Georgia is very keen on football and wants to play at the highest level when she is older. She is not a bad player at the moment."
Wroughton's hotshot winner has been playing football for three years.
A centre-forward, she played last season for Wroughton under 10's where she was the only girl in the team, and for Swindon Badgers girls team.
Do you think you can strike a ball as hard as Georgia?
If so, Nationwide will be starting up a new competition for the beginning of the season when you can test your prowess to be in with the chance of winning great England prizes.
