Anyone have 51a: Conan Doyle's detective found her in the gold(6)

It seems like Kelly (Holmes) but that leaves a letter short.
Kellie, does fit with "Races" as the answer to 40d

Any suggestions

Thanks

Hi pske; many thanks for 69d. 1a is Maidens (although because I haven;t been on system for a day, someone else has already provided this!)

Brayruit, many thanks - looks like I was trying to be too subtle, following thru Holmes to Kelly Holmes! lol

Hi sbbk
2d=ivanisevic (tennis champ)
20d - I'm stuck too - any help anyone?
79d = Woosnam (Ryder Cup team)
96a = Angola (World Cup finals qualifier)

ajpcrs

ajpcrs · 02-01-2007 5:40pm

Well 20d looks like it may be Ballesteros

However now stuck on 27a/83d (tho think the 83d part is Best) - is it cricket?
and 35a (He's in Kerry at the moment)

any suggestions?

thanks

ajpcrs · 02-01-2007 5:43pm

Ballesteros gives one Sam for 35a (don't ask!!)

27a/83d is Neil Best.

35a is referring to the Sam Maguire.
