Scandal at the World Conker Championships 2024

[media=https://youtu.be/q8CYrM9xkUc]
A woman who only discovered the game of conkers a year ago has become the first American to be crowned world champion.
Kelci Banschbach, originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, was overall winner of the World Conker Championships, held in Southwick, Northamptonshire.
The 34-year-old - the first American to clinch the title since the competition started in 1965 - received a trophy, a tea towel and a coaster.
She said: "[My parents] were a little confused when I had to explain what I was doing, but they're so proud none-the-less."

Kelci Banschbach, the women's champion, defeated King Conker, the men's champion, to become the first overall winner from America


The World Conker Championships is investigating cheating allegations after the men’s winner was found to have a steel chestnut in his pocket.

David Jakins won the annual title in Northamptonshire, England on Sunday for the first time after competing since 1977.

But the 82-year-old was found to have a metal replica in his pocket when he was searched by organisers after his victory.

The retired engineer has denied using the metal variety in the tournament.

Banschbach...? 🤔

Sounds positively Teutonic to me!
It's an even bigger scandal that some Gerry woman is now the World Conker Champion! 😳
