    Thanks, I'm trying to avoid the outright googling, although asking on boards probably crosses that line anyway!

    Have decided to go for BRIGGS instead of BROGAN (30dn). Ladies Rugby was very big this year. Also as earlier poster mentioned her pic is in the caption.
    Settled for DOPE (75ac) and DAN rather than DON (102dn) DAN is a martial arts grade.
    Best of luck to all entries.!!
    Happy New Year.

    It was reprinted alright - not sure which day. So that's not much help I'm afraid.

    Would agree that Briggs more likely than Brogan, I'm sure both accepted.

    "The hammer from bray" - drawing a complete blank on that.

    Cheers for that, all British soccer ones, you'd swear I didn't follow it! The Stamford bridge one is embarassing, for the Royals, I will admit to getting hung with it being Meath!
