Crossword Genius

Rowers were triumphant (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crew

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rowers' is the first definition.

'were triumphant' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for crew that I've seen before include "Sailors - haircut" , "They operate ships or aircraft, say" , "Cox and Co" , "A kind of short cut" , "Ship's company - bragged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
