Impressive Mackle back on the winning trail at Shannonvale

Ulster champion Thomas Mackle beat Christy Mullins on Sunday in the feature score of the benefit festival for the cancer unit at Cork University Hospital in Shannonvale.

It was the perfect rebound after his All-Ireland senior final defeat the previous week. It also brought the curtain down on an 11-score event, over two days, which raised €5,000 for the CUH unit.

He opened with a good shot, which Mullins missed by playing his bowl to the left. Mullins recovered immediately with a good second shot to the top of the hill and he was in front after three more to the quarry. They reached Desmond’s line in eight with Mackle back in front.
