More Ridiculous English Sports.

Thousands of conker fans descended on the village of Southwick in Northamptonshire (UK) to watch the 230 competitors from 14 countries fight it out with conks.   Conking is a child game played for hundreds of years.  Competitors attached a 20" string to a horse chestnut and swing it at their opponent's in an attempt to smash their conk.  The winner this year in the 'men's' was an 85 year old.   And they say the English aren't boring.
