WHIZZ kids from Rainford got the better of Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow back in the early eighties.
Actor William Roache took part in a computer golf tournament with Jennifer Singfield, seven, and her brother Alan, nine.
But he met his match with the youngsters who took part in Granada series, “Chip In�, in August 1983.
William, who played off a real golfing handicap of eleven, said: “I could not swing it with these pros and I would need lessons to have any hope of beating them at their own game.�
The sister and brother team first got hooked on computers when dad Sid, a BT data processor bought one. On the show they got the chance to show off their staggering knowledge.
