Performance of the Week

I thought I would start a new feature this week as sports are getting going all overt the country i thought it would be right to pick out my best player, referee, team whatever I thought was the best of the sporting week just past.

This week we start off with a real cracker, Billy Clarke's four goal performance for Darlington as they beat Macclesfield 6-0 on Saturday. Clarke became the first ever Darlington player to score four goals in a match as the Quakers destroyed lowly Macclesfield. Clarke, a former Ipswich Town youth player is currently on a 6 month loan with the club after short spells at both Falkirk and Colchester United. Jim Magilton has hesitated when using Clarke in his first team at Portman Road, but this stunning array of finishing might just make Magilton think again after his team poor start to the season

Clarke simply ripped apart Macclesfield on Saturday, but his second goal will be the one to remember. Picking the ball up 30 yard out he unleashed a cracking striker with his left foot which arrowed into the top corner, past the despairing John Brian. Clarke now has a goal a game ratio for the Quakers who after being forlorn of strikers at the one point in the season are now feeling the benefits of the extended transfer window.
