THE club's ladies secured a vital victory in the defence of their Rivers-meet League title when they beat a strong Atherley Club by four shots after winning three of the four rinks.

The result was all the more commendable as Sue Frost's rink at Southamp-ton was up against England international Wendy Line.

Maureen Gourlay's rink registered a superb 21-16 away success while Frost's rink help keep the aggregate score within manageable proportions.

The win leaves the Salis-bury side in a strong position in the league - eight points ahead of their nearest rivals with just one match to play.
