Skill of footballers succeeding (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passing

I believe this is a double definition.

'skill of footballers' is the first definition.

'succeeding' is the second definition.
(passing is a kind of succeeding)

(Other definitions for passing that I've seen before include "Ephemeral" , "Overtaking" , "Casual - death" , "Short-lived - death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
