Trophy on table for press (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cupboard

'press' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'trophy on table' is the wordplay.
'trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'table' becomes 'board' (board is a kind of table**).
'cup'+'board'='CUPBOARD'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cupboard that I've seen before include "Storage place" , "Store for crockery etc" , "Hubbard found it bare" , "One with shelves and door" , "Furniture for storing provisions etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
