Sport with teams from Oldham and Wigan, say (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

athletics

I believe this is a double definition.

'sport' is the first definition.
(I know that sport can be written as athletics)

'teams from oldham and wigan say' is the second definition.
(Oldham Athletic and Wigan Athletic football teams)

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for athletics that I've seen before include "Olympic events" , "Running and jumping" , "Partly track" , "Physical sports for trained competitors" , "Olympic sports" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
