WOODCHOPPING is a family affair for the Coffeys of Inglewood, and John Coffey senior and junior stamped their name on trophies at Sydney’s prestigious Easter Show.
Most notably, father and son finished first in the parent and child relay, an event in which they have been competing for the past seven years.
And they also finished fourth in the three-man relay along with Lyndsay Hewett.
John jnr came second in the standing block handicap event, while his father finished fourth in the second division standing block.
Not to be overlooked, younger brother Blake stood on the podium in third place in both the Under 18 Underhand Championship and the Under 21 Underhand Handicap. He also took fourth place in the Under-18 Underhand Handicap.
