Gavin Twohig claims All-Ireland in Armagh

Gavin Twohig bowled impressively to win the All-Ireland intermediate title at Madden, Co. Armagh, yesterday.

It completed a great weekend for Munster, who won four of six titles. Kelly Mallon created history for Ulster, by completing the first three-in-a-row when winning her sixth senior women’s title.

In the intermediate final, Twohig conceded the first to Colm Rafferty, but led from there to the finish. He was 80m clear after three. He gained a big advantage when his bowl rubbed to sight from the bus shelter. He had almost a bowl after a great sixth to the pipe corner and raised it with his next to Barrett’s.
