New Zealand's shearing team competing in Britain has had its first win.

Dion King and Rowland Smith bounced back from defeats in the first three tests of a UK tour to beat the English team of Adam Berry and Chris Hird at the Lakeland Shears in Cumbria.

New Zealand shearing veteran David Fagan, who's competing independently, won the open final at the same event.
