After a really thrilling match and having made Phil sweat a lot more than usual Mick unfortunately was eased out of the competition but not without making a lasting impression. Several commentators predict a top 10 spot for the year 2007.



Brian Howley caught up with Mick recently and where in the world is indeed the question. Mick showed off his trophy won recently in Anderlecht and in 2007 Gibraltar, Brussels, Blackpool and Las Vegas are some of the hot spots where Mick will be aiming for the bull over the next 6-9 months.
And come the summer Mick will hopefully be featuring significantly on the Skysports screen and Balbriggan.net will try to give you advance wearing of the matches as and when they are happening……..



All the best wishes for 2007 Mick ……..oh and while we are at the topic of nicknames we will add Mick ‘The Magnet’ McGowan and one of his most fanatical supporters ‘Bowler the Growler’ Jim Cunningham
