Crossword Genius

Man of the match (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bridegroom

This clue is a double definition.

'man' is the first definition.
(I know that bridegroom is a type of man)

'the match' is the second definition.
(bridegroom is a kind of match)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bridegroom that I've seen before include "Man on his wedding day" , "new partner" , "Union joiner" , "new joiner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
