Mutch too good

SHEARING

There were signs of “the bug” when some 70 shearers and woolhandlers competed on Saturday as the Wairarapa A and P Show cranked back into action after two years of cancellations.

In the end, it was a nearly all-Wairarapa day in the open shearing and woolhandling fi nals, the only outsider being Southern Hawke’s Bay farmer and Scotland international Gavin Mutch.

A local victory looked on the cards in the open shearing fi nal, with three Wairarapa shearers David Gordon, Matene Mason and Hemi Braddick making the cut, however, it was the 2012 world champion and 2015 Golden Shears champion Mutch who denied the local shearers victory.

Mutch reckoned it’s been 23 years since he last shore at the Wairarapa Show, but he made it a good one with victory. The win was Mutch’s second of the season, having won the Waimate Spring Shears Open title and having competed at fi ve of the eight shows on the calendar so far.

Mutch was fastest in the 15-sheep fi nal, completing the shear in 12 minutes 59 seconds. His fi nal score of 50.4833, was two points clear of Gordon, with Mason third, and Braddick fourth.

Masterton’s Cushla Abraham headed off Eketahuna sisters Ngaio Hanson and Marika Braddick in the open woolhandling fi nal.

Abraham had already won the New Zealand Shears Merino title and been awarded one of two New Zealand team berths for a transTasman woolhandling test in Bendigo, Victoria on November 24.

Abraham also went within a pip of returning to the shearing board’s winning circle, when beaten by just 0.05 points in the intermediate shearing fi nal.

Other local victories were in the novice shearing, won by Rosie Rooderkirk of Masterton, and the novice woolhandling, which was won by Emma Buick, daughter of New Zealand representative Pongaroa shearer David Buick, who has had to retire from shearing after being seriously injured in a farm accident.

The competition was also a good one for a small crew of younger competitors who made the 450km-plus trip from Gisborne to Carterton.

They went home with three wins, with Te Ua Wilcox claiming his fi rst senior shearing title, Richmond Ngarangione adding the intermediate title, and Tira Ngarangione winning the senior woolhandling fi nal.
