Chum, mate (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pal

I believe this is a double definition.

'chum' is the first definition.
(both can mean a friend)

'mate' is the second definition.
(both can mean a friend)

(Other definitions for pal that I've seen before include "Buddy, chum" , "China" , "Crony" , "Mate, informal friend" , "Close friend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
