Judges Comments:
Judged by Malcolm Taylor & Scott Eriksen
First (Jeff Leong, Victoria) Powerful show bird, well presented on the bench with good length and depth of mask and height.
Second (Kakoschke & Rice, Sth. Aust.) very good Greygreen with power throughout but just lacks the show quality of the first place getter.
Third (Alan Kent, Sth. Qld). Is similar to the second bird with good size and quality but not the showmanship of the first birdJim Fletcher and Errol Miller
Summation by Errol Miller.
This class usually attracts a lot of flecking but you will see the top four placings only have minor ticking. Another strong class down to 8th position.
First bird owned by J Ennis (Victoria) is a powerful super strong cock bird with a little cap ticking.
Second owned by J Leong (Victoria) is a powerful, nice clean hen that did challenge the winner but unfortunately has a few tail issues.
Third owned by Scott Eriksen (Q’land & Northern Central) worked his way up and again is a good strong bird when worked.
Fourth owned by Kakoschke & Rice (South Australia) is a nice strong bird but has a missing nail on one toe.
From eighth place down quite a few birds showing too much flecking and were penalised accordingly.
