Rests players at last after pride's shattered (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spiders

'rests' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'players at last after pride's shattered' is the wordplay.
'at last' says to take the final letters.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shattered' indicates anagramming the letters.
The final letter of 'players' is 's'.
'prides' with letters rearranged gives 'piders'.
's'+'piders'='SPIDERS'

(Other definitions for spiders that I've seen before include "Arachnids" , "Web weavers" , "Predators on the web" , "14 [BOWIE] 's band from 26 [MARS]" , "Insects; rests" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
