Toal pulls off shock in Ulster as Mackle eliminated

Cathal Toal caused the first major upset of the 2019 All-Ireland race when he eliminated Thomas Mackle from the Ulster senior championship at Tullysaran on Saturday.

Toal shaded the first two. Mackle got a great third to sight at the pub and Toal’s bowl hit the kerb and missed it by 60m. Mackle raised a bowl with his next past the pub after a poor fifth from Toal. They had sight at the Orange Hall in two more with the lead just under a bowl. They were at the start of the double bend after another three.
