Intention to finish (3)
I believe the answer is:
end
This clue is a double definition.
'intention' is the first definition.
(end can mean one's purpose or goal)
'finish' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "border?" , "Goal; leftover" , "For Chelsea or Villa, it's a" , "Cessation, conclusion" , "Extremity" .)
