City gives a medal involving fish (7)
I believe the answer is:
geelong
'city' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'a medal involving fish' is the wordplay.
'a medal' becomes 'gong' (informal term for a medal or prize).
'involving' is an insertion indicator.
'fish' becomes 'eel' (eel is a kind of fish).
'gong' enclosing 'eel' is 'GEELONG'.
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
