'peace for a while?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'game to enter town church' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'RU' (rugby union).
'to enter' is an insertion indicator.
'town' becomes 't' (common abbreviation eg in football team names).
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
't'+'ce'='tce'
'ru' put inside 'tce' is 'TRUCE'.

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for truce that I've seen before include "Respite" , "Temporary halt in hostilities" , "bit of peace" , "Agreed ceasefire" , "Temporary ceasefire" .)
