Epitaph for cricket side in Harrogate location? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ripon
'harrogate location?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'epitaph for cricket side' is the wordplay.
'epitaph' becomes 'rip' (rest in peace).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cricket side' becomes 'on'.
'rip'+'on'='RIPON'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ripon that I've seen before include "N. Yorks market town" , "North Yorkshire cathedral city" , "Yorkshire city with cathedral and racecourse" , "minster" , "N. Yorks city" .)
