Today, Ray White Guyra/Armidale's Blake O'Reilly won the state title for the Australian Livestock & Property Agents Association (ALPA) NSW Young Auctioneers competition. Moments later, last year's state winner, Chris Gooch of Ray White Garvin and Cousens in Tamworth, was announced as the runner-up in the ALPA National Young Auctioneers.
