Mate, buddy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'mate' is the first definition.
(both can mean a friend)

'buddy' is the second definition.
(both can mean a friend)

(Other definitions for pal that I've seen before include "Friend (colloq.)" , "Mate, informal friend" , "Buddy, chum" , "Mate, buddy" , "China" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
