Big Guns Take Red Ribbons at Hawke’s Bay Show
Former World champions Cam Ferguson and Joel Henare have retained the Great Raihania Shears open shearing and woolhandling titles respectively at the Hawke’s Bay Show in Hastings.
Their wins on Friday (October 24) came in front of Rimitiriu Raihania, great-great grandson of Rimitiriu “The Great” Raihania, after whom the event was named when the shearing competition at the Hawke’s Bay Show was revived in 2004.
Rimitiriu “The Great” Raihania won a shearing event at the Show in 1902, thought to have been the first machine-shearing competition in the World.
Ferguson, from Waipawa, was for some time seriously challenged for time honours by workmate Tysson Hema, who was in his fourth Open final since winning the Golden Shears and New Zealand senior titles in 2012.
But ultimately Ferguson, 31, had a 1min 19sec margin at the end of the four-man, 20-sheep race, which as it eventuated was just enough to hold-off Te Kuiti legend David Fagan, who, having just turned 52, produced comfortably the best quality points.
Henare celebrated his 23rd birthday with an absolutely commanding performance throughout for his fifth win in a row since premature elimination from defence of the World woolhandling championship in Ireland in May.
Maryanne Baty, of Gisborne, was runner-up, and 2007 Golden Shears champion Huia Whyte-Puna, of Napier, celebrated a second final in a week by beating the fourth finalist, New Zealand trantasman team member Keryn Herbert, of Te Awamutu.
Three of the other five titles were won Ngati Pahauwera competitors from Raupung, including 15-year-old junior shearing winner Hemi Lambert and sister Teresa, 21, who won the junior woolhandling final. Elder brother Willie, 24, was later fourth in the senior shearing final, and mum Rosalie was among the judges.
Carlton Aranui, 19, also of Raupunga, won the intermediate shearing title, while Robert Mudgway won the senior final, and Ana Braddick, of Eketahuna, won the senior woolhandling final.
