EXPERIENCE counted when a Darwen sports quiz was relaunched.
It is 30 years since Jack Crompton and Bill Parkinson took part in their first quiz, but the pair tasted victory again.
Their team, Brass Band Club, Great Harwood, also featured Darryl and Mark Jardine.
They beat Accrington Post Office and the Toll Bar in Blackburn.
Darwen's Punch Hotel and a team representing the Sunday Star came joint fourth.
Organis
ed by sports quiz veteran Harold Heys, the revived event raised £275 for the local branch of Cancer Research (UK). It was staged at Bolton Road Conservative Club.
Winner Bill said: "Jack and I were OK with questions that went back a bit but we needed Mark and Darryl to knock in the more recent stuff."
