I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of those at the recent match' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'recently developed top lawn is moist in the morning upsetting' is the wordplay.
'recently' becomes 'new' (synonyms).
'developed top lawn' becomes 'l' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is moist in the morning' becomes 'dewy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'upsetting' is a reversal indicator.
'dewy' written backwards gives 'ywed'.
'new'+'l'+'ywed'='NEWLYWED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newlywed that I've seen before include "One recently married" , "Bride or groom" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
