RENFREW co-manager Colin Clark praised his side despite a 4-2 defeat to title-chasing and reigning Premier Division champions Beith.
The visitors raced into a three-goal lead in the opening 25 minutes and with Beith having scored six the previous week, Clark admitted he feared the worst.
But Frew settled into the game with goals from David McKenna and Jamie Benton restoring some pride

And Clark said: “Defensively we might have done things a bit better but Beith were very clinical.
“We can always be better but Beith are a good side and after the first 25 minutes we showed good character. We made them work for it.

“They’ve been blowing teams away and after being 3-0 down early on you’re think that you’re heading for a similar score line, but I’ll give my boys credit for showing a bit of character and belief to bring us back into the game.”
