Bowls raised more, say, in the county (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yorkshire

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'bowls raised more say' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'county' is the second definition.
(I know that Yorkshire is a historic county of England)

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yorkshire that I've seen before include "County (with small terrier?)" , "Grit" , "Sort of pudding" , "Cricketing county" , "Former county of England" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
