Ronan Mackrory in Series 85.

Ronan Mackrory was an octochamp in Series 85. He was a Primary School Teacher from Slough.

Mackrory's first appearance, against fellow débutant Andy Davies, came immediately after Matt O'Connor became an octochamp himself. Mackrory made a very good start with two consecutive winning scores of 105. After solving a crucial conundrum from seven points down in his fifth game, he finished his octorun with centuries in his last two victories, again equalling his personal best 105 in his eighth game. He averaged 92.25 per game.

Mackrory returned to the show for the series finals on 13 June 2022, against Steve Hyde. Despite Mackrory keeping up, Hyde eventually broke away and won with 106 points, while Mackrory bowed out with 83 points and an overall series total of 821 points.
