Cup from Derry? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ryder

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

'cup' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'from derry?' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'derry' with letters rearranged gives 'RYDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ryder that I've seen before include "-- Cup, golf trophy" , "sporting contest" , "The . . . . . Cup - international golf tournament won by Europe 2006" , "-- Cup, biennial golf tournament" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
