The Irish Times Chequered Flag Xmas Crossword

Hagar

For future reference, is there any chance that posters could give more info such as the number of letters in the answer? Not all of us are lucky enough to get Irish newspapers where we live. Thanks.

I'm stuck on two final ones:
70D: she brought the world to Bray
57A/97D: For Darren Clarke, his team-mates were

I'm pretty happy with my answers to the rest of them, so I can do a swap of info!! This is the first year i've sat down and tried this crossword - great way to finish of the Christmas mince pies...

70d is Talyor - she is an irish boxer

Darren Clarke one is Heroes all. Its his book title.

I need 6 down. Clue - Steve's nemises in strange spectacles.

and 81 down . Team generator of chicken dish?

and the only other one I need is Surgical knife in the tour de france.

81 down . Team generator of chicken dish? D _ N _ _ O.
I thought it might be denver as in denver nuggets but obviously the O messes it up.

and the only other one I need is Surgical knife in the tour de france. _ _ N _ _
I havent got an idea what this could be.

Any help?
