Crossword Genius

A blow for the party! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bash

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a blow' is the first definition.
(I know that bash is a type of blow)

'party' is the second definition.
(term for a party or celebration)

'for the' is the link.

(Other definitions for bash that I've seen before include "crash > party" , "Go" , "Party; beat" , "Heavy blow; party" , "Criticise -- social gathering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
