Nice sport played by examiner (9)
I believe the answer is:
inspector
'examiner' is the definition.
(I know that inspector is a examiner)
'nice sport played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram.
'nice'+'sport'='nicesport'
'nicesport' anagrammed gives 'INSPECTOR'.
'by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for inspector that I've seen before include "reviewer" , "one to check" , "leading rank" , "auditor" , "Morse" .)
