Impressive comeback win for Twohig

Gavin Twohig returned to competitive bowling with an impressive win over David Hubbard in the Ballinacurra tournament on Saturday.

He opened with two great bowls to go 70m clear. Hubbard rallied with a brilliant third to Brinny Cross. Twohig played his reply to the left and just made the far end of the cross. There was little between them after the shots towards Foley’s. Hubbard lofted nicely there, but his bowl went right. Twohig kept his bowl low and beat that tip by just 15m. Twohig’s next was much sharper and it pushed him 50m clear at the gas line.

Hubbard then got a brilliant bowl to the middle of Perrott’s. Twohig’s bowl was too far right and hit a pillar five metres short of Hubbard’s tip. Hubbard built on this lead with two good bowls past the GAA where he had 50m odds.
