Twenty-five teams entered this year's New Commercial Hotel annual Shear a Sheep, Eat a Pie and Drink a Drink competition.

Teams of three competitors entered the competition with the fastest team — made up of Tony Old, Trevor Hepburn and Terry Buchanan — getting through the challenge in 55 seconds.

The team that came second completed the task in 1.04 minutes and the third team, 1.10 minutes.

It was a great day and a lot of spectators watched. People got to have a good laugh.

New Commercial Hotel owner Jude Dix says this year's fastest time was a lot quicker than last year's winning time which was recorded at 1.09 minutes.

Jude says the annual competition brought the country to town and was enjoyed by those who competed.

"It was a great day and a lot of spectators watched," he said.

"People got to have a good laugh."
