Approaches engendered by certain scorers? (9)
I believe the answer is:
overtures
'approaches' is the definition.
(I know this)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for overtures that I've seen before include "Attempts at seduction" , "Orchestral introductions to an opera etc" , "Musical introductions" , "Diplomatic advances" , "Tentative suggestions to elicit reactions" .)
