The chequered flag crossword 2022

guardianangel

Would appreciate help with the following clues please :

20a….Bom Down, now Up, at the very top. (7) ? ? I ? r ? ?

20d…..I Lured IMF to the ground that graciously allows women in

guardianangel

I’m also stuck with clue :

25d….she met 63d in New York (7) ??R??N?

the 63d is Brendan Martin cup won by the winner of Ladies All-Ireland team. It may be a sports person as it’s a sports crossword. I’m completely baffled!!!!!

Alidee

20d is an anagram, and you have all the letters there. 20a is a famous golfer, and again you have the letters there almost.......can I see the penny dropping?

Can anyone help with 14a, One is skilled in a Japanese martial art (6). - - - O - L

guardianangel

14a….JUDOKA

5d is Haaland then 14a ends in “a”

guardianangel

Sorry to say thanks for 20a and 20d….yes I’ve got them now.

Any luck with 25d ?

Alidee

Ok, it's ladies boxing.......and connected to our most famous boxer.......so work back to some of her fights......

quizzer225

I think there’s a misprint in the crossword

clue for 25dn should read:

”she met 64dn in New York” rather than 63dn. Might help you

Stuck on 9dn myself:

“The ladies with them have legal status at last (9)”

C _ _ _ _ A _ _ S

guardianangel

9d…….Contracts

guardianangel

I was thinking on those lines myself as “Brendan” is correct but I could find no connection to Katie. Thanks

guardianangel

I’m stuck on 46a….From player to pundit to manager

(7). - - M. - R. - E

any idea on this one ?, please

guardianangel

Thanks everyone for all your help.

I’m sorry but I’ve now discovered that my 3rd letter in 46a was incorrect. It was ‘O’ so the answer is ‘O’Rourke.’

KlaasGleeson

Have it completed, let me know if you need any clues. One or two I’m unsure of like 56a, “Mark” for Johnny’s younger brother (4)
