Comments on the clue
1.I'm afraid I don't like the overlapping. The sentence doesn't read very naturally.
2.… but it does infringe the rules –
"Both indications of the first clue word must precede both indications of the second, etc."
3.A triple DLM in 8 words is a remarkable achievement, even with "goliath" doing double duty, but the result doesn't make much sense.
4.Sorry, but I hate double duty
