Gavin Twohig just too good for in-form Dónal Riordan

Riordan, who was magnificently at the Marsh Road the previous week, never got going in this one.
Twohig won the first tip by 30m with a good bowl and led to the line. Riordan made Giles’ gate with his second and Twohig stretched his lead. Riordan just beat that with his third to leave almost a bowl between them. Twohig ratcheted up the pressure by reaching White’s cross in five, against seven for Riordan, to leave two clear bowls between them.
