Society tackle satirical sketch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skit

'satirical sketch' is the definition.
(a skit is a short comedy sketch)

'society tackle' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'tackle' becomes 'kit' (both can mean gear or equipment).
's'+'kit'='SKIT'

(Other definitions for skit that I've seen before include "Comic sketch" , "Send-up" , "Short play which makes fun of something" , "Turn" , "Lampoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
