Conker Tournament 2007

On the evening of 15th November the "Citta Alpina 2007" had the honour of hosting the major national event in the Italian conker calendar.  Punctually at 9.30 at the British Language Centre's "Conkerdrome" the synchronised  popping of bottle-tops signaled the opening of of the prestigious "Conker D'Oro" Cup.

Ignoring the anti-doping regulations, the boys warm up

The fiercest competition was expected in the women's section of the draw.

Would there be any giant-killing        in the first round?

      Gradually the favourites         begin to come through

The tournament produces a new World Record as "Slasher" Ashall battles "Slugger" Silvia for a place in the semi-finals. The encounter lasts 2 days and 5 hours, during which time there are 2 power cuts, the venue runs out of beer and 6 spectators commit suicide.

Finally we have a winner........ the 2007 Conker d'Oro goes to......
