In a fitting result longtime club member and hard grafter Brian Burke won the longhead at the 107th annual Paparangi sheepdog trials.

The trials took place on the Rainey and Wyatt farms on Currie Rd inland from Kai iwi.

Club secretary Ross Jones was pleased with numbers with over 70 heading runs in each event and the huntaway courses were kept busy especially on the Saturday.

Burke won the longhead with Stone, a 5-year-old dog, and it was particularly creditable because Stone stifled his hind leg in the winter. He has had two operations on the leg and is still recovering.

Kathryn Oliver from Raetihi also had a good day winning the shorthead with Pip and taking third with Shy. Sheena Martin from Wairoa made her trip worthwhile placing second in the shorthead with Troy, another dog who has been having health issues.
