Conkers championship caught up in chestnut-of-steel cheating commotion
Briefly

"It looks exactly like a real conker," said Burkett, wearing a hat adorned with chestnuts. "Strung the same, colored the same. And so suspicions were aroused that he had used that steel conker, rather than the real conker, to play with."
"He has what I would term a comedy-value metal conker he uses for display and showing the kids," said Neil Horton, the landlord of the pub where the event was hosted. "We are confident this was not used, but the inquiry is running."
