Boldly race criminal in encounter close to home (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
local derby
'encounter close to home' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'boldly race criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' is an anagram indicator.
'boldly'+'race'='boldlyrace'
'boldlyrace' with letters rearranged gives 'LOCAL DERBY'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for local derby that I've seen before include "competition in the neighbourhood" , "big match" , "Match between nearby teams" , "Fixture between nearby teams" , "Competition between two close teams" .)
