Current ball supporters (4)
I believe the answer is:
tees
This clue is a double definition.
'current' is the first definition.
(River Tees is a current)
'ball supporters' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for tees that I've seen before include "Sides of Trent" , "Northern river" , "Current" , "Sport items" , "River of north-east England" .)
