Cricketer first for honours in Somerset city (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bath

'somerset city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cricketer first for honours' is the wordplay.
'cricketer' becomes 'bat' (I've seen this before).
'first for' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'honours' is 'h'.
'bat'+'h'='BATH'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bath that I've seen before include "City of SW England" , "Check of books" , "It may be run" , "Roman Aquae Sulis" , "Stopper for hole (don't let 8 through it!)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
