A few runs established cricket county (8)
I believe the answer is:
somerset
'cricket county' is the definition.
'somerset' can be an answer for 'county' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'cricket' bit.
'a few runs established' is the wordplay.
'a few' becomes 'some' (both can mean a small amount of something).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'established' becomes 'set' (set can mean established or agreed upon).
'some'+'r'+'set'='SOMERSET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for somerset that I've seen before include "English county in the West Country" , "Rome sets up in this English county" , "County of southern England" , "Wells's county" , "English county known for its cider and Cheddar cheese" .)
