Unlikely goal hero Matt Clarke revealed why he was so reluctant to answer Mick Tait's half-time call for a striker - he wasn't sure of what to do!

But Clarke, who began his career as a forward with Halifax, proved that scoring goals is a bit like riding a bike - you never lose the hang of it.

"It's been a long time since I've been up front so I wasn't entirely sure of what to do," joked Clarke, whose second half brace helped Quakers to their first win in seven games.

Without the suspended Barry Conlon, Quakers rarely looked like ruffling many feathers in the Kidderminster defence with Richard Offiong playing as a lone striker.

Leeds-born Clarke is no stranger to playing up front. But after failing to find the net once with the Shaymen in his first season, Clarke soon realised his strengths were appreciated more at the other end of the field.

"We found it difficult to play football but we picked things up in the second half, got forward early and I just got on with what I was told to do - that was to put myself about a bit," said Clarke.

"I never really imagined I'd be coming off the field with a couple of goals under my belt to be honest."

Clarke should resume defensive duties next week as Conlon returns from a three-match ban.

"It's always good to have a big target man to aim for and I think we have missed Baz.

"So obviously it will be good to have him back next week," said Clarke.

"He's such a good player to have in the team with his height and strength and I'm sure the rest of the lads will be happy to have him back."

After drawing their four previous games, Clarke is hoping Saturday's win can kick-start Quakers' season.

"We have drawn too many lately and it was important that we picked up three points," said Clarke.

"All we need to do is take it game by game and hopefully get a few more wins together in order to push up the table."
