Mackle edges Murphy in feature score at Knappagh Road

Thomas Mackle beat Aidan Murphy by a bowl in the feature score of the “Aaron's mission to Walk” benefit on the Knappagh Road, Armagh on Saturday.

Murphy got the better start to lead by 70m after three to Knappagh angles. Mackle then got a poor shot, which left him almost a bowl down. Murphy lost most of his odds in his next two, but a good sixth one pushed him 80m clear again. That was instantly wiped out by a brilliant seventh bowl from Mackle to the planting corner, which cut the lead to five metres.
