SPORTS CROSSWORD....Its different !!!

CROSSWORD CLUES FOR SPORTS.....
LETS PLAY........

CLUES are to be read creatively.......it is a whole brain exercise....where your logical reasoning ....coupled with 'holistic'....overall thinking comes into play...

And as we know.....cluing normally has two parts

1.'surface' answer....that seems obvious....but

2.the real answer ...also given....hidden....

....and the fun with cluing is in reading in between the lines...as if....

So....here we go......

First clue : High fliers score in golf !

On the surface it seems that those who are high fliers....normally score in golf...

...but the hidden answer is EAGLES

...as eagles are high fliers....and 'EAGLES' is a score in golf !

Second clue :

VEN LEE is shattered as a team !

Shattered is an indication that VEN LEE has to be re arranged.....

so the answer is ELEVEN........which is a team!

Third clue :

Great initially then nothing...a lie...saves in football !

This one is a real teaser !

Great initially is 'G' ....first letter of the word
Then nothing ....means 0 after G....
So g..o...a lie....is the answer...(GOALIE) ...who saves in football !!!

Fourth clue : A trademark leather....

simple !! Trademark is a kind of patent....and so is a type of leather

......so the answer is PATENT !

Fifth clue :

Give back a turning turner !

A turning turner....would be RETURN !....which is also to give back !

......so the answer is RETURN !
