2010 proved to be the biggest and best year yet for the Scottish Conker Championships, with a record-breaking 92 competitors turning up at Tweed Green, Peebles on 23rd October. Once again the competitors converged from all corners of the British Isles as well as the Borders, with one visiting New Zealander trying his luck. As the crowds looked on in the championship marquee, there were some incredible displays of conkering strength and skill.

The four categories (Juniors, Youths, Adults and Rogues) were hotly contested.
