Gavin Twohig secures place in Munster intermediate final

Gavin Twohig bowled well at the Marsh Road to secure his place in the 2016 Munster intermediate final at the expense of Donal Riordan.

Riordan set the early pace, but once Twohig got into his rhythm from the quarry hill, he quickly turned it around. Riordan got a massive first shot towards the mart to win the first tip by 70m. Twohig cut this to 30m after his third to the new factory. Riordan got a great fourth bowl to the Skibbereen sign to go 100m clear.

Twohig again cut that to just 30m with a brilliant fifth to the quarry gate. He sliced a few more metres off it with his next to the top of the quarry hill. Riordan held the lead in the next exchange down the hill. Twohig then got a super shot around the wind. Riordan missed that by 40m and left himself with a virtually impossible shot to make the steps. He missed with his next and Twohig went out to go almost a bowl in front. Twohig then got three super shots to sight at Ballyhilty, putting him two bowls clear as it took Riordan four shots.
