Organisers of the New Zealand Shears are breathing a sigh
of relief as they bounce-back from the cancellation of last
year’s event to stage the 2021 championships starting in
Te Kuiti tomorrow(Thursday).
More than 200 shearers
and woolhandlers will compete in the three-day
championships, which 12 months ago became one of the early

called-off for the first time since the New Zealand
championships were resurrected initially as the new King
Country Shears in 1985.
While a Level 2 alert which
cancelled this year’s Golden Shears in Masterton at just
four days’ notice a month ago sent shivers up the spines
