BoyleSports not after Derry Ladbrokes shops

Buoyant bookie BoyleSports says it doesn't covet any of Ladbrokes' shops in Derry for now.

The Armagh-founded firm, which intends buying 360 Ladbrokes and Coral shops in the United Kingdom for £100m, confirmed shops in Derry won’t be affected.

“None of the shops being offloaded as part of the Ladbrokes/Coral merger are in Northern Ireland,” a spokesperson confirmed.
