IT'S hail the conkering hero... whoever he or she may be!

Yes, it's that time of year again when everyone goes nuts as they do battle to find who's best at the great old British autumn pastime.

This year, the contests are for a good cause as a Worcester pub organises a match to raise money for Acorn's Children's Hospice Trust.

The Crown & Anchor, Hylton Road, is tomorrow hosting a competition in aid of the cause.

For more information about the event contact the pub's landlord, Nick Cassell, on 01905 421481.
