Arrange cups with king’s sporting gear (5)

I believe the answer is:

pucks

'sporting gear' is the definition.

'arrange cups with king's' is the wordplay.
'arrange' indicates an anagram.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'king' becomes 'k'.
'cups' with letters rearranged gives 'pucs'.
'pucs' going around 'k' is 'PUCKS'.

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
