The Waimate Shears is one of the major competitions on the Shearing Sports New Zealand calendar attracting shearers from all over New Zealand and the odd one from overseas.
Earlier this year Noel was elected a Master Blade Shearer, a prestigious title given he is joining a group of just 16 others. His winning performance at the Waimate Shears confirms Noel’s position as a world-class shearer and a great representative for Tectra.
Bruce Walker, Tectra’s Southland Regional Training Coordinator, also did well at the competition, placing second in the Open Plate Machine Shearing competition.
