Crossword Genius

Award for play (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

give

I believe this is a double definition.

'award' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'play' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "Donate, grant" , "Supply; elasticity" , "Make a present of" , "Yield to pressure" , "concede" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Telegraph.
