The Matthews brothers compete on the International stage.

Scott and Jack Matthews have had astounding success at the Royal Adelaide show in Wood Chopping.

Scott and Jack Matthews travelled to Australia last term to represent New Zealand in Wood Chopping, at the Royal Adelaide Show. 

They are part of a team of nine New Zealand Under 21 colts who faced off against the Australian Under 21 team in a tri-series. As well as the international event, the boys  competed in underhand, standing and double sawing events. 

Jack is the youngest in the team at 15 and it was the first time the brothers have chopped outside the country they were very excited. We were just as excited for them too and exceptionally proud of their phenomenal achievements.

To complete their recent success, Scott also won the category of Achievement in Sport at the West Coast Sports awards held this Saturday.
