Determined Mackle bidding for a piece of history
He has a potential date with three destinies: A win would make him the first Ulster player to complete a three-in-a-row, it would move him one title ahead of his famous uncle, Michael Toal, as the most decorated Ulster player of all time, and he would join Pat Butler and David Murphy as a member of the three-in-a-row club.
A slight dip in form saw him lose his Ulster title earlier this year, but we can be certain he will be as sharp and focused as he’s been for the past two years come Saturday morning. He faces Martin Coppinger, a very impressive All-Ireland champion and winner of the 2012 King of the Roads, and Dutch champion Jos-Bert Aalbers.
