Its played for someones benefit (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
charity match
'played for someones benefit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'its' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'its' could be 'it' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'it' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
