Stick with team getting beat (4)
I believe the answer is:
club
I believe this is a triple definition!
'stick' is the first definition.
(I know that club is a type of stick)
'with' acts as a link.
'team' is the second definition.
(club is a kind of team)
'getting' is a link.
'beat' is the third definition.
(to hit with a club)
(Other definitions for club that I've seen before include "women expect to be in" , "Truncheon" , "In which one could be expecting" , "Association; cudgel" , "Iron or putter, say" .)
