Croquet hoop (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wicket

(Other definitions for wicket that I've seen before include "Small gate; stumps, bails" , "Means of access" , "Small gate, for a cricketer?" , "catch, perhaps" , "Three stumps plus a crosspiece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
