Crossword Genius

Endures final on Sunday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasts

'endures' is the definition.
('last' can be a synonym of 'endure')

'final on sunday' is the wordplay.
'final' becomes 'last' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sunday' becomes 's'.
'last'+'s'='LASTS'

(Other definitions for lasts that I've seen before include "Keeps on" , "Goes on" , "carries on" , "Endures" , "Holds out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
