After over two decades away from the sport Alan Clarke has made an immediate impact on his return, sprinting to victory in the A4 race at the Waller Cup his weekend. Clarke, who has already been picking up placings in the Inter-Club League, demonstrated that he's lost none of his finishing kick as he left the bunch in his wake on the uphill drag to the finish in Bohermeen.
