Rugby League’s Fastest Man

Last night, Barry Clarke travelled across to Headingley Stadium, Leeds, to take part in the Rugby League’s Fastest Man competition, which was held during the Rugby League 9’s Finals evening. The contest was so close between London Broncos’ Omari Caro and Leeds Rhinos’ Jamel Chisholm that a video replay was needed to determine the winner, with Caro just edging ahead to grab the £1000 prize. Well done to Barry for taking part.
