After start of term organised games may bring delight (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transport

'delight' is the definition.
('transport' can be a synonym of 'delight')

'after start of term organised games' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'start of' suggests taking the first letters.
'organised' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this before).
'games' becomes 'sport' (I've seen this before**).
The first letter of 'term' is 't'.
't' next to 'ran' is 'tran'.
'tran'+'sport'='TRANSPORT'

'may bring' is the link.

(Other definitions for transport that I've seen before include "which may be public?" , "Convey - delight" , "Convict previously shipped" , "Move (from place to place)" , "Coach, possibly" .)
