Moved during matches to create scores (8)
I believe the answer is:
twenties
'scores' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'moved during matches' is the wordplay.
'moved' becomes 'went' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'matches' becomes 'ties' (tie can mean a sporting fixture).
'went' inserted into 'ties' is 'TWENTIES'.
'to create' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twenties that I've seen before include "Scores" , "decade of frivolity" , "period of years" , "First adult years" , "what lies ahead for 27 [TEENAGER]?" .)
