Lodges concerned with teams (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resides

'lodges' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'concerned with teams' is the wordplay.
'concerned with' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'teams' becomes 'sides' (eg football sides).
're'+'sides'='RESIDES'

(Other definitions for resides that I've seen before include "stays in Peebles" , "stays required" , "stayed in Scotland" , "Sojourns" , "Lives, dwells" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
