Coppinger beats Mackle in baby Emily fundraiser

Martin Coppinger beat Thomas Mackle in the Joe O’Sullivan Cup final at Castletownbere on Sunday hot on the heels of his Friday win over Killian Kingston in the Mick Barry Cup at Ballincurrig.

Sunday’s win was the feature score of the Team Emily Fundraiser, which raised close to €14,000 to fund medical care for baby Emily Toal. With a stake of €76,000, the clash of Coppinger and Mackle made a significant contribution. Coppinger was in supreme form from the off.
