Five-star Riordan easily sees off Twohig
Twohig won all the early shots. He was just fore after three to the new bridge, but he won the next exchange by 100m. Riordan wiped most of that out with his next and he followed with another big bowl to the rectory gate, but Twohig still held the lead. Twohig won the next exchange too, but Riordan then got another big bowl to the round tower and took his first lead.
Riordan really opened up with another massive bowl up the rising road to the top of the straight to push his lead towards a bowl of odds. He lost ground in the next few and then his lofted bowl hit a branch and landed just fore bowl. He pushed clear again and lofted 60m odds at Forshin’s cross. After the next the lead was back to ten metres. Twohig missed the line with next shot. Riordan then hit back with another brilliant bowl which went well past the line.
