Travel to an away match? (5)
I believe the answer is:
elope
'travel to an away match?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for elope that I've seen before include "Do a runner" , "Run away to wed" , "Bolt" , "Abscond for amorous purposes" , "Run away to Gretna Green?" .)
