SHE'S a teenage amateur battling injury while also studying full time at college.

So you can imagine Natasha Lawton's shock - and delight - at being named alongside one of the world's rugby greats.

The 19-year-old is shortlisted for Glasgow Coach of the Year at Sportsperson of the Year awards - and she's up against Gregor Townsend MBE.

So how does it feel?

Natasha said: "It makes it unreal. I'm so overwhelmed - I'm a volunteer and to know I'm up against someone who's coaching at international level... I can't believe it.
