Crossword Genius

Girl having paddle round saw manor demolished (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oarswoman

'girl having paddle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'round saw manor demolished' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'demolished' indicates an anagram.
'saw'+'manor'='sawmanor'
'sawmanor' anagrammed gives 'arswoman'.
'o'+'arswoman'='OARSWOMAN'

(Other definitions for oarswoman that I've seen before include "River user" , "Girl having paddle" , "Rower" .)
