That King Conker sure looks like a leprechaun, doesn't he?
All the conkers used in the event are supplied by the organisers .. They then have to hold their nuts so there is no less than eight inches (20cm) between them and their knuckles. Each player takes alternate strikes at their opponent's nut until one of them disintegrates.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to join Conkers Anonymous.
