THEY'LL come, they'll see, they'll conker at one York pub this weekend.
The Gillygate, in Gillygate, is hosting its second open conker championship on Sunday, encouraging young and old to do battle.
Landlord Brian Furey said: “The Open Conker Championship is all about community, shared experiences and bringing people together. That, and having a bit of craic.”

The junior championship - dubbed the Conkertition - starts at 2pm, with the senior championship starts at 3pm.
Each match will have a referee, standard conker rules will apply and the conkers will be supplied by the organisers.

The winner of the senior championship will be given a place in the Conker World Championship.
Music, conk-related games and roasted chestnuts will also be available.
Entry is £1 for juniors and £3 for seniors. Proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Now.
