“Bizarrely, this nut I’ve used for all four bouts and I went to elimination blows in every single bout and there is not a scratch on it,” the Granville Ferry resident said. “There is no rhyme or reason as to why one nut is better than another.”
Peter Crofton Davies floated the idea of having a conkers championship in Annapolis Royal in the fall of 2011. He was the town crier at the time. Bonnington recalled playing the game during his childhood when they would collect the conkers from the ground or knock them off trees. Bonnington went 4-0, beating Lequille’s Jim Medill in the final. It was the second time he has won the competition after being victorious in 2015.
Bonnington said the nuts were picked Oct. 12 at North Hill Museums and stored in the same bucket in his cold room. Bonnington also serves as the championship’s grand marshal but doesn’t view it as a conflict of interest to participate.
