New Zealand hopes start in World shears buildup

New Zealand team members Nathan Stratford and Joel Henare starred in a big weekend of shearing sports in Southland at the weekend as the buildup started ahead of the World sheariong and woolhandling championships in Invercargill on February 8-11.

Stratford won the Open shearing finals at the Northern Southland Community Shears longwool event at Lumsden on Friday and the Southland Shears’ national crossbred lambshearing championships at Winton Saturday.
