Baigent pace Nott enough to win
Nelson shearer and former Top of the South Senior champion Travers Baigent made a bold bid for his first Open title when coming second at the Nelson A and P Show on Saturday(November 21).
The 26-year-old Baigent was finished more than a sheep ahead of his nearest challenger for time honours in the four-man final, but it was ultimately a case of quality over pace as the event was won by event favourite and last-man-off Tony Nott, 54, of Blenheim.
Baigent shore the 10 sheep in 12min 28.22sec, almost four minutes quicker than Nott recent Marlborough and Top of the South Open winner Nott, who must have surprised even himself by making-up the time deficit of almost 12pts to complete a successful defence of the Nelson title.
He got the nod by 0.8pts from Baigent, who managed to hold-out Marlborough veteran Chris Jones, whom he had also beaten off the board by more than two-and-a-half minutes.
Tapawera shearer Jotham Rentoul successfully defended the Senior title, Rob Hervey, of Murchison, added the Intermediate title to the Junior title he won last year, and Kaleb Avery, of Blenheim, backed-up a second-placing at his home Marlborough show a fortnight ago and third in the NZ Corriedale Championships on November 13 by scoring his first win in Saturday’s Junior final.
While shearing stalwart Frank Bint was an automatic winner of the Senior woolhandling title, there was keen competition the two other woolhandling finals, particularly the Junior event, won by Natasha Te Rore, of Blenheim but from Whangarei.
It was a big day for local shearing sports, with 39 shearers and woolhandlers, one of the biggest entries in the Nelson-Marlborough area..
