Bowen too good for Twohig

ÉAMON Bowen Jnr moved into the quarter-finals of the Munster senior championship when he beat Gavin Twohig by over a bowl at Templemartin.

Neither player started particularly well, but Bowen went over a bowl clear after seven and nine to Slyne’s corner. Twohig raised his challenge but Bowen ended his hopes with a brilliant bowl past the monument, which helped him go well over a bowl clear again at the pub cross.

In Ulster Conor McGuigan has taken pole position with two wins from two starts in the senior championship. He easily beat Eddie Carr at Knappagh on Sunday.
