Sorry.

The answer is sofia as it turns out. Stephen Kenny's First match in charge of the Ireland team was played here.

It's 5 letters ending in S.

I've put the answer as doors for 74 down but it could be gates or something else.

I have games for 74 D

I’m missing 42d - strange red name and also 65A - He’s a saint. Last one 69A - does he hunt wild birds on the course

42d. Liverpool player Mane, anagram of name.

65a Southampton (Saints) player Che Adams.

69a Fowler, (Ricky Fowler, golf player).

74d Could be games alright. It's the usual single vague clue and answer in the annual Chequered Flag crossword unfortunately.

It's definitely 'DOORS' - in reference to the COVID restrictions.

Just a note - it's 'PAUW' not 'POUW'.

I assume 72D (Irish blade) is EVAN. Can anyone explain to me why this is the answer? I can't figure it out at all!

Did many people finish this year?
Kind of forgot about it. Got load of clues on my first day or two then kind of forgot about finishing it.
