Who stops poacher in match? Goalie! (10)
I believe the answer is:
gamekeeper
'who stops poacher' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'match? goalie' is the wordplay.
'match?' becomes 'game' (I've seen this before).
'goalie' becomes 'keeper' (I've seen this before).
'game'+'keeper'='GAMEKEEPER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gamekeeper that I've seen before include "Tender of birds killed for sport" , "Occupation of Lady Chatterley's lover" , "Breeder of birds for shooting" , "One raising birds for shoot" , "Mellors, say" .)
