Thanks everyone!

Please could you explain? I can't find a South American city called 'Riot'. And what's the connection between 'tricks' and 'sprains'?

[patricia53]

rick as in rick your neck - it may just be a Derbyshire term but it fits! T - first letter of team - tricks

[koster]

OK, got it (initial T of troubled) + Rio.

[patricia53]

riot - rio + t - first letter of troubled - whole thing uprising
