World Conker champion David Jakins ‘won title fairly’ in Northamptonshire

In a statement, the World Conker Championships said nothing “untoward” was seen by judges or umpires.

“The video evidence following the men’s final appears to show Mr Jakins putting his hand in his pocket before putting his other hand in a different pocket and drawing out a conker he had prepared earlier to throw to the crowd,” it read.

“However, in so doing, the video shows clearly that he was watched by a judge who was looking directly at his hand.

“It is concluded that it would be near impossible for Mr Jakins to have swapped the conkers unnoticed.”

It added: “The World Conker Championships therefore congratulates King Conker on his victory after 47 years of play.”
