WIRRAL schoolgirl Jessica Mennie has won a second gold medal after representing the North West in a national gymnastics final.

She showed off tumbling skills during the National Development Plan final in Telford. 

Jess had won gold at the regional event earlier this year at Robin Park Sports Centre in Wigan.

The top from each Region went forward to the national semi-finals.

From 24 competitors, only eight went through to the finals.

Jess has been involved in gymnastics since she was four-years-old, often training four times a week at Wirral Gymnastics Club in Birkenhead.

Gold medal status was the culmination of a great sporting year for Jess, who also won a gold in both the regional and county two-piece competitions, excelling in floor routine and vault.
