Roaring at counterpart during loud argument (8,5)

I believe the answer is:

shouting match

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

'during loud argument' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'roaring at counterpart' is the wordplay.
'roaring at' becomes 'shouting' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'counterpart' becomes 'match' (match is a kind of counterpart).
'shouting'+'match'='SHOUTING MATCH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shouting match that I've seen before include "row" , "Loud quarrel (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
