Crossword Genius

Shot around goal's in (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trendy

'in' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shot around goal's' is the wordplay.
'shot' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'goal' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'goal').
'try' enclosing 'end' is 'TRENDY'.

(Other definitions for trendy that I've seen before include "Hot" , "Informally, following the fashions" , "In fashion, of popular style" , "Up-to-date with the latest fad" , "Voguish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
