Rum pie served up for the referee (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umpire

'the referee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rum pie served up' is the wordplay.
'served up' indicates an anagram.
'rum'+'pie'='rumpie'
'rumpie' anagrammed gives 'UMPIRE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for umpire that I've seen before include "A field judge in circket" , "Impure (anag) - adjudicator" , "Football official" , "Kind of referee as in cricket" , "The ref in cricket match" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
