Before I start this weeks crossword I need some closure on last weeks! I got 3 to go and I think I know the answers but would welcome some help with the wordplay if someone could be so kind.
14a) Fellow sentinel keeps clubs for protection of train (10) _ O _ C _ T _ H _ R
Can't get away from DOGCATCHER
24a) Oxymoronic region where letter has dash in it (7) Z _ E _ A _ _
ZEELAND?
21d) Gather from leader in European countries (6) D _ _ _C _
COWCATCHER Co-watcher around C (clubs)
ZEELAND- Zee=sea. This with LAND is an oxymoron,ie opposite in meaning
