Birt backed it up in Finley on Easter Sunday where she was second in their steer riding competition.

The Pen Riders Challenge was one of two steer challenges hosted at Deniliquin.
The other was the Pub Challenge, for which any of the sponsoring businesses with a liquor licence could enter.
First was Meg Kirkwood with a score of 46, representing Ritchies Liquor Drive Thru Store.
Second was Jordie Ramadge, another female competitor, who represented the Coach House Hotel Motel.
The Deniliquin event also saw cowboys and cowgirls from across the country flock to Deniliquin to compete in the Australia Pro Rodeo Association events.
The stock supplied by Garry McPhee proved too much of a challenge for some, which resulted in no-one scoring in the open bull ride.
Patrick Fraser was equal first in the second division bareback bronc.
