Golden Shears World Championships (Sheep Shearing)
The Golden Shears World Championship’s final, held at the Royal Welsh Show saw a brand new world champion being crowned.  Cam Ferguson of New Zealand beat fellow countryman David Fagan into second place, and also won the cup for having the best pen points.  Welshmen Gareth Daniel and Gareth Evans came third and fourth respectively.  Fifth place went to Scotland’s Gavin Mutch and sixth to Kieran McCullogh from Northern Ireland.

The team shearing final reflected positively on the current strength of UK shearers, with all four home sides qualifying along with the Falkland Islands and, of course, New Zealand.  The New Zealand team lived up to their reputation however and retained the team shearing world title.  Wales came second, receiving huge applause, and Scotland third.

New Zealand won the teams’ woolhandling championship with Wales coming in second place.
