Proving what an auction powerhouse Grenadier is, Ned Allisonwon the open division competitionwhile John Phillips took out the novice division. Shane Cortese, Harcourts NewZealand National AuctionManger, said “It was a pleasure to present the Bledisloe Cup trophy to our very own Ned Allison. There’s a bit of a story behind the trophy. It was recently found on the bookshelf of a past winner and so upon the find, it was taken to Ellerslie Jewellers who gave it some love, attention and silver polish to bring it back to all it’s original magnificence.’ He added, “We are verymuch looking forward to the trophy staying on this side of the Tasman for as long as that other Bledisloe trophy has.” LouNewman.
