Twomey joined the Courcey Rovers club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels. On 10 October 2015, he lined out at left wing-forward when Courcey Rovers suffered a 1-14 to 2-10 defeat by Ahan Gaels in the Minor A Championship final.[citation needed]

On 22 April 2018, Twomey made his first appearance for the club's top adult team in the Premier Intermediate Championship. He scored a hat-trick of goals in the 3-18 to 0-19 defeat of Inniscarra.[2] On 21 October 2018, Twomey scored two points from left corner-forward when Courcey Rovers drew 0-12 to 1-09 with Charleville in the final.[3] He was switched to right wing-forward for the replay a week later but ended on the losing side after a 0-15 to 0-14 defeat.[4] Three years later on the 27 November 2021 Twomeys side got to another Premier Intermediate Final played in Pairc Uí Choaimh in a incredible comeback from 8 points down against Castlelyons to go on to win 1-19 to 1-18 with Twomey scoring 2 points to earn Twomey a championship medal.

Twomeys side went on to get into the Munster Intermediate Final in the same year after a late rally of points to send it to extra time to go on and lose to Kilmoyley of Kerry 0-24 to 0-21 with Twomey scoring 1 point played in the Gaelic Grounds.

Twomeys side yet again got to another final in the 2022 Senior A final just after winning Premier Intermediate year prior but lost to a very talented Fr. O'Neill's 0-20 to 2-12 played in Pairc Uí Choaimh with Twomey being held scoreless.
