Secure draw (3)
I believe the answer is:
tie
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'secure' is the first definition.
(tying is a kind of securing)
'draw' is the second definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)
(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "'Fasten, with string say (3)'" , "Equality of score" , "Bind; be equal" , "Equal score" , "line above notes" .)
