Brian Pilkington claims first major in SA Cup
01/30/06
Australian Super 6 Series #1 Brian Pilkington claims first major in SA Cup Queensland's Brian Pilkington won his first major title in taking out the 2006 South Australia Cup at AMF Cross Road in Adelaide, SA, Australia. Pilkington dominated the season opener of the Australian Super 6 series in qualifying and carried this through into the final day to secure a win under duress.
A storm swept through Adelaide just prior to the start of qualifying and destroyed the air conditioning unit at AMF Cross Road. Outside air temperature in Adelaide this weekend was in the mid 30s Celsius. Temperature inside the bowl was not much different.
Pilkington averaged 211,90 for 29 games and compiled a 5-4 won-lost record in match play to finish with 6245 pinfall total. 2005 Australian ranking champion George Frilingos (pictured right) finished second for the second consecutive year. Frilingos went 6-3 in match play to secure the second place with 6173 total. Michael Zentveld finished 20 pins behind Frilingos in third place due to his 5-4 record in match play. Defending champion Jason Belmonte ended up in 9th position.
