This clue could be a double definition.

'two small measures for' is the first definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clinch that I've seen before include "Grapple - confirm" , "Settle conclusively with informal embrace" , "Passionate embrace" , "Fierce embrace" , "Clutch" .)
