WILKO THROUGH TO QUARTERS WITH STUNNING WIN

Copacabana’s Matt Wilkinson has defeated fellow Aussie Julian Wilson in stunning fashion at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach.

The ratings leader trailed the entire heat, but with five minutes remaining, scored a brilliant 9.57.

At the final siren, both were level on 16.57; and on count back, the surfer with the highest individual wave score advances.

Wilko will now face Brazilian, Wiggolly Dantas, in the Quarter-Finals.
