clubs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'round the corner' is the definition.
'clubs' can be an answer for 'round' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'the corner' bit.

'coshes the little beasts' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation for little) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'beasts' could be 'cubs' (cub is a kind of beast) and 'cubs' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clubs that I've seen before include "Card suit" , "Societies" , "playing cards" , "For game, you may need five" , "Orders" .)
