Mighty Mackle romps to victory

Thomas Mackle had an easier thanexpected win over Aidan Murphy in the Dunmanway Hospital Day Care Tournament semi-final at Derrinasafa on Sunday.

Murphy won the first two shots and when Mackle played his third into the river he was almost a bowl behind. Murphy played a poor third shot to the rock. Mackle then got a great shot past Daly’s to take a big lead and he had almost a bowl after his next to the cross. He held that lead with his sixth to Ross’.

He raised a bowl of odds with his seventh to the haggard gate and increased his lead with his next past Cotter’s cross. Murphy missed the Darkwood turn in ten and when Mackle went out in nine he had close to two bowls. He raised the second bowl with his next and held it to Walsh’s lane.
