Mickey victory will clean bookies out

BOOKIES in Mickey Harte’s home town of Lifford say they’ll go to the wall if the popular father of two wins Saturday night’s Eurovision in Latvia.

They have again cut the odds on the Donegal man’s chances of scooping gold at the weekend.

“We’ve been taking bets on Mickey since the week before he won the You’re a Star competition,” said Aidan White, manager at the Two Takes All bookmakers. The bookie works just three doors up from Mickey’s original home.
