Shearing
New Zealand shearers Rowland Smith and Tony Coster have completed a hat-trick of wins on the 2013 Elders Primary Wool UK Tour with a comfortable win over Ulster at the Rickamore Shears in Ireland.
With each shearer scoring better than both Ulster shearers Ivan Scott and Ian Montgomery, they won by almost 12 points.
The pair had opened their tour a fortnight earlier with a loss to Scotland, but quickly bounced back with two wins over England. They now have a four-test series against Wales before the tour ends.
Smith also scored his second open title of the tour as Kiwis filled four of the five positions in the Rickamore Shears championships final. David Fagan was runner-up, Coster was fourth, and Smith's brother Doug was fifth.
