Notice match is no great shakes (8)
I believe the answer is:
adequate
'no great shakes' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'notice match' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'match' becomes 'equate' (I've seen this before**).
'ad'+'equate'='ADEQUATE'
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for adequate that I've seen before include "Sufficient or all right" , "'Satisfactory, acceptable (8)'" , "Passable but not great" , "Good or plentiful enough" , "Enough to meet a purpose" .)
