Sport in Los Angeles annoyed English (8)
I believe the answer is:
lacrosse
'sport' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a kind of sport)
'los angeles annoyed english' is the wordplay.
'los angeles' becomes 'la'.
'annoyed' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this before).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'la'+'cross'+'e'='LACROSSE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" , "Ball game using netted stick" , "Game played with netted sticks" , "Sport played with sticks" , "Score's uncertain after the Spanish" .)
