St Andrews women and men both registered impressive victories on Saturday in their respective EIBA national club championships.

The women completed a clean sweep of all four rinks against Minehead in the Yetton Trophy when Sue Sinclair’s away rink, two behind, finished with a four.

Becky McMillan’s away quartet were never down, while the home rinks, in which Jude Alder made her debut, won by a total of 23 shots.

Saints men’s Denny Cup tie against Taunton Vivary was very close for much of the game and they were one down overall at halfway. However, Simon Angove’s home four were in outstanding form and won by 26 shots.

That gave the other rinks some leeway. Phil Villis’s home four fought back well from six down to lose by one and both away teams did well to win narrowly.
