Showing partiality for club with no reserve team? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
one-sided
'reserve team?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'showing partiality for club with no' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'showing' could be 'on' (as in a film showing or on at a cinema) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'club' could be 'side' (both can mean a sports team) and 'side' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for one-sided that I've seen before include "Grossly unequal; biased" , "So denied being unfair or biased" , "Unbalanced" , "Partial" , "Unequal like contest between badly matched opponents" .)
