Twomey first played for Cork as a member of the minor team that lost back-to back All-Ireland minor finals in 1986 and 1987 when he was also team captain. [3] He immediately progressed onto the under-21 team and was at right corner-forward when Cork beat Galway in the 1989 All-Ireland under-21 final. [4] It was the first of two All-Ireland medals that year as he was also a member of the junior team that beat Warwickshire to win the All-Ireland JFC title. [5] His performances in these grades resulted in Twomey being drafted onto the training panel of the Cork senior football team. [6] During his six-year tenure he lined out in a number of National League games, however, he failed to make it onto the championship panel. Twomey was a member of the Cork team that won the All-Ireland SFC title in 1990, however, as a member of the extended panel he failed to receive a winners' medal. [7]
