The Hobart Cup made a welcome return to AMF Moonah after a 13 year absence with good interest of entries from both local and mainland states in the lead up to the October 2006 Australian National Championships.

Paul Trotter lead the way early in A Squad qualifying with a solid 443 block, with Matt O’Brien improving early to have a slice of the lead after the second block at +7. Paul Trotter and Mac Stewart remained consistent to be the only bowlers over the card after the third block. Ann-Maree Putney then strung together a nice series of 4 games to take over 2nd place with a block remaining.

Thirteen bowlers formed B Squad in their bid to qualify for day two’s matchplay. Tasmanian junior bowler Greg Elkin impressed with consistent scores through his 10 games and earned himself a spot in the top 14 with a 197 average. Various bowlers filled spots in the top 14 at sometime through this squad but only Adam Johnson was to remain in the top 14 at the completion of B Squad.

2005 National Rankings Winners, Ann-Maree Putney (Women), Glen Loader (Youth Male) and Ingrid Coburn (Senior Female) also feature in the top 14. High game through qualifying was a 259 by Matt O’Brien who missed the cut by the smallest of margins.
