The Beauty Contest

Sheep shearer
2
Miss Slapinum

Mud wrestler
3
Mrs Nookie

Cut-throat Close had a bad reputation for crime and violence so the residents decided to organize a beauty contest to try to raise the community spirit. Unfortunately, as one might expect, there was some mischief when the results were recorded. Although each item was in the correct column, one column had three items correctly positioned, one had just one item correct and one had no item correct. Police Officer Wazzup had to sort out the muddle and subsequently discovered the following facts.
 
(1)   Either Miss Slapinum or Miss Myafare were at neither Wyewurry nor Duncheatin.
(2)   Mrs Nookie was not first.
(3)   The bullfighter came just before Miss Myafare.
   
Can you give the correct contestant, house name and occupation for each position?
