13 is correct

The other posts from 17.30 - 18.50 are incorrect

ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 10/09/2009 19:07:24    422281

Yes 2/2! TC has 4, Breff has 3 I think. Another world class thread Rua!

Just to make it interesting both yourself and TC should get one more each - shame if ye dont !!

Right so there is a Meath footballer (or hurler, you never know) in there.

I think it could be number 16 or number 25, am I right Rua?

17. Won his counties third all star 19 years after a hairy feline namesake with a smaller ball

Eamonn O'Hara?

b39

correct - that one was hard

L2TR

except for 8 I think all the rest are all stars - Presume that sorts out hurling football/question - 8 is not from meath
Wrong on your last point - though right frame of mind on 25

ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 10/09/2009 21:14:17    422406

apologies - error in my previous post

For clarity

The remainder all have all stars except 4 and 8,
4 has an AI medal - 8 does not.
4 possibly should but there is a clue in the clue.
Most of the remainder would have more than one all star.

Breff is different class at this.

I'd be more of a Suduko person as opposed to cryptic crosswords.

L2TR

breff is top class - I thought Eamon o hara might be a sticky one - only expected Black and white or Puddersthecat to get it
No sign of Ram85 on this one
Also thought this RM drive might have thought this way - has'nt raised his head yet
TC is good on the hard ones too

Though Loyal if you don't get the meath man you may hang your head - It ain't exactly obscure !!!
Sudoko would'nt be big enough enough for his track record !!!!
Sleep well
