Welsh ace Elfyn Evans (Toyota Yaris Rally1) bridged a two-year gap with victory in Rally Croatia, round four of the World Rally Championship. 

In what has been a tragic week due to the death of Waterford’s Craig Breen during a test accident with his Hyundai Motorsport team, Irish fans departed Zagreb with some good news when Donegal’s Eamonn Kelly and his Monaghan co-driver Conor Mohan (Ford Fiesta Rally4) won the Junior event where several leaders went by the wayside including Moira’s William Creighton in a similar car.
