NAFBAE International Team Shoeing Competition, 27th - 30th August 2009

04 September 2009

The NAFBAE International Team Shoeing Competition took place at The Forge, Stoneleigh on 27th – 30th August 2009. 14 teams from across the world battled it out over three days of competition to lift the coveted trophy. The Welsh team consisting of Billy Crothers, Jim Blurton, Grant Moon, Andy Martin and Nigel Brown produced some excellent work but on the final day were narrowly beaten into second place by their old rivals, England (Steven Beane, Andrew Casserly, Matt Randles, Gavin Golby and David Smith) with Ireland (Paul Robinson, Paul Duddy, William O’Shaughnessy, Edward O’Shaughnessy and David Lynch) a very close third.
Billy secured an additional victory in the Individual Competition to fend off both this year’s World Champion Steven Beane and last year’s World Champion Paul Robinson.
Handmade Shoes would like to congratulate all competitors that took part, without whom the competition would not be a success!
