Shoot for the cup (3)

I believe the answer is:

pot

I believe this is a double definition.

'shoot' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the cup' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for pot that I've seen before include "...Karenina(Tolstoy)" , "Container for 23" , "Trophy; kitty" , "It may call the kettle black" , "Preserve; drug" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
