Fetching a few after victory (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winsome

'fetching' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a few after victory' is the wordplay.
'a few' becomes 'some' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'victory' becomes 'win' (I've seen this before).
'some' after 'win' is 'WINSOME'.

(Other definitions for winsome that I've seen before include "Appealingy attractive" , "Holding an appeal" , "Pleasant" , "Attractive and fresh" , "Captivating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
