Woman with fellow refs unexpectedly disagrees (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

differs

'disagrees' is the definition.
('differ' can be a synonym of 'disagree')

'woman with fellow refs unexpectedly' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'unexpectedly' is an anagram indicator.
'refs' anagrammed gives 'fers'.
'f' going inside 'fers' is 'ffers'.
'di'+'ffers'='DIFFERS'

(Another definition for differs that I've seen is " Varies".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
