Rose from Limerick shoots to the top of the betting market in Tralee

AFTER a rip-roaring night one in Tralee, the Limerick-born United Arab Emirates Rose is the new favourite to win the competition, according to Ladbrokes.

Ceiline O’Meara, a teacher and musician from Caherconlish but representing her new adopted home of the United Arab Emirates, will appear on the second night as the favourite to win the show at odds of 5/2.

After night one that provided singing, Irish dancing and even a short onstage yoga class, the odds have changed. Cork Rose Nancy Lehane has now dropped to third favourite at 6/1 to win after leading the betting until Sunday.

Fermanagh Rose Caoimhe Connolly is now in second-favourite at 5/1.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes commented: “Night one went down a treat but it’s the UAE Rose, having yet to take to the stage, who is the new favourite to take the crown in Tralee.”

Limerick watchers can cheer on Ceiline and Limerick Rose Leah McMahon.
