After winning the youth award she said she was grateful for all the opportunities she had, and it was cool to see what a girl from a small town like Dannevirke could achieve. “I hope I can shoot some more bullseyes next year.” She hoped to be selected for the New Zealand team for the Oceania games, as well as the North Island open, junior and women’s shooting teams, where she can then qualify for New Zealand teams. She also planned to become the top secondary school shooter at the national secondary school championships in September.

Napier’s Angela Stevens in the thick of the action at the end of the Āpiti open woolhandling final on Saturday.
Southland shearers who loomed as the biggest hopes for a first South Island win in the Golden Shears open final in 32 years are returning home gutted after Covid-19 stripped them of the opportunity. The end of the dream came when the 61st Golden Shears, scheduled to start in Masterton on Thursday, were cancelled after Sunday’s Covid-19 alert level increase. Southland shearers Nathan Stratford, Leon Samuels and Brett Roberts underpinned their prospects by finishing first, third and fourth, respectively, in a six-man final over 20 sheep each at the Āpiti Show in Manawatū on Saturday.
