A HEAVY defeat on one away rink proved costly for Clarence in their Weston Indoor Mixed League match against newly-crowned champions St Andrews.

Clarence finished up on two rinks and lost another by just one. However, a 25-shot defeat on the fourth meant that they lost by three shots.

The McMillan family rink of Rebecca, Marie, Andy and Grant Aldridge did exceptionally well to win by 12 shots at St Andrews.
