onto the team for the subsequent All-Ireland decider against Kilkenny. A 2–4 to 1–2 score line resulted in defeat for Tipp and an historic first three-in-a-row for Kilkenny. By 1915 Mockler had moved to Dublin and declared for the Dublin senior hurling team. After losing the provincial decider to Laois that year, Mockler lined out in the eastern showpiece once again in 1917. A 5–1 to 4–0 defeat of reigning provincial champions Kilkenny gave Mockler his first Leinster medal. The subsequent All-Ireland final pitted Mockler against his native Tipperary. He scored 1-2 from midfield as Dublin won the game by 5–4 to 4–2. It was Mockler's first All-Ireland medal. Dublin surrendered their titles the following year, however, a 1–5 to 1–2 defeat of Kilkenny gave Mockler a second Leinster medal in 1919. The All-Ireland final saw Dublin line out against Cork. "The Rebels" were coasting at half-time with Jimmy Kennedy having scored four goals. He had two more disallowed to give his side a 4–2 to 1–1 lead. Cork also dominated the second half to secure a 6–4 to 2–4 victory. In 1920 Mockler was appointed captain of the Dublin senior hurling team. He won a third Leinster medal that year as Dublin defeated Kilkenny by 4–5 to 2-2. The All-Ireland decider was a repeat of the previous year with Cork providing the opposition once again. A goal blitz by Joe Phelan, Jimmy Walsh and Mick Neville gave Dublin a 4–9 to 4–3 victory. It was Mockler's second All-Ireland medal while he also had the honour of collecting the cup. Mockler was captain again in 1921. He collected a fourth Leinster medal that year as Kilkenny were defeated by 4–4 to 1–5. The subsequent All-Ireland medal saw Dublin face Limerick. The Munster champions went on a goal-scoring rampage with captain Bob McConkey capturing four goals in all. Dublin went on to lose the game by 8–5 to 3–2. After back-to-back defeat provincial final defeats, Dublin bounced back in 1924. A 4–4 to 3–1 defeat of Offaly gave Mockler a fifth and final Leinster medal. He later lined out in his last All-Ireland final, with reigning champions Galway providing the opposition. Galway played with the wind in the first half and led by three points at the break. Two goals by Dublin forward Garrett Howard and a great goalkeeping display by Tommy Daly ensured a 5–3 to 2–6 victory for Dublin.
