Second division game sometimes ending in this (4)
I believe the answer is:
scut
'game sometimes ending in this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'second division' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'division' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of division).
's'+'cut'='SCUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scut that I've seen before include "Short erect tail" , "Reindeer tail" , "Short tail of rabbit, deer etc" , "Deer's tail" , "(Hare's) short upright tail" .)
