Scrap the second group picked up (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set-to

'scrap' is the definition.
(I know that set-to is a type of scrap)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for set-to that I've seen before include "brush with violence?" , "Ready - fight" , "Disagreement, fight" , "Brief fight" , "Fight, argument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
