Drunkenly chunter on in club (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

truncheon

'club' is the definition.
(truncheon is a kind of club)

'drunkenly chunter on' is the wordplay.
'drunkenly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chunter' anagrammed gives 'trunche'.
'trunche'+'on'='TRUNCHEON'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for truncheon that I've seen before include "Peelers' baton" , "Police weapon" , "Cosh" , "Policeman's club" , "Policeman's traditional weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
