- 'Fouled' is an anagram indicator. It tells us that a neighbouring word will be made foul or bad — a classic anagram concept.
- Our fodder is 'Pair' and 'ref' — we’ll be using the letters of one and a substitute for the other, as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'for enlarging balls' — what might serve that purpose?
