Concerning lighter return game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rematch

'return game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'concerning lighter' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'lighter' becomes 'match' (match is a kind of lighter).
're'+'match'='REMATCH'

(Other definitions for rematch that I've seen before include "Another game" , "Return fixture" , "new bout" , "Later encounter" , "Teams' second game" .)

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