Full of noise, harangue in support of county match (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coordinate

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

'full of noise harangue in support of county' is the wordplay.
'full of' indicates putting letters inside.
'noise' becomes 'din' (din is a kind of noise**).
'harangue' becomes 'orate' (I've seen this before).
'in support of' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'county' becomes 'co'.
'din' inserted into 'orate' is 'ordinate'.
'ordinate' after 'co' is 'COORDINATE'.

(Other definitions for coordinate that I've seen before include "Match, harmonise" , "I do not race (anag.)" , "Unusual decoration" , "Arrange" , "correspondent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
