Mocking botched raids on clubs (8)
I believe the answer is:
sardonic
'mocking' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'botched raids on clubs' is the wordplay.
'botched' indicates an anagram.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'raids'+'on'='raidson'
'raidson' with letters rearranged gives 'sardoni'.
'sardoni'+'c'='SARDONIC'
(Other definitions for sardonic that I've seen before include "Mocking or scornful" , "Scornfully derisive" , "Cynical -- so rancid (anag)" , "Humorous in grim way - seems so rancid" , "Derisively ironic" .)
