Winning Ways

Kudos to the Mayo women's football team, that won the all-Ireland final with a jammy late goal. Better still was the team in east Galway that made fifty five thousand euros last week by betting on themselves to reach the quarter finals of the county championship. The club of Leitrim/Kilnadeema had come last in their group for the last four years in the group stage of the championship, and were given odds of 33/1 to make it as far as the quarter finals. They slapped 1500 euros on themselves though the bookie would only take 600 euro at 33/1 and took another 600 at 25/1. I'm sure he shares the team happiness at their achievement.
