Arrange five seats for the matches (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vestas

'the matches' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'arrange five seats' is the wordplay.
'arrange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'v'+'seats'='vseats'
'vseats' with letters rearranged gives 'VESTAS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for vestas that I've seen is " Matches - staves (anag)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
