Stan 386 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Conkers win is double over French Winner Ady Hurrell said his strategy was to "hit is as hard as I can" English sportsmen have completed a double over the French this weekend. Ady Hurrell, of Whittlesey, Cambs, took the World Conker Championship crown less than 24 hours after Les Bleus were dumped out of the Rugby World Cup. He beat John Ingram, representing France, in the final of the 43rd championships in Ashton, Northants. Train driver Mr Hurrell, 36, needed just two shots to smash the conker of his competitor, a 54-year-old Dordogne antiques dealer. !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
