Crossword Genius

Person offering testimonial for match official (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

referee

This clue is a double definition.

'person offering testimonial' is the first definition.

'match official' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for referee that I've seen before include "Sports official" , "Football official" , "Sports adjudicator" , "Umpire; arbitrator" , "Match official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
