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 don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'boldly race criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'boldly'+'race'='boldlyrace'
'boldlyrace' is an anagram of 'LOCAL DERBY'.
'in' acts as a 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" .)
