Thanks kaya...

Thanks mintyman and K and congrats to the winners !

There's an error in the printed solution for 1937. 3 DOWN should be ARENAS, not ARENAA!

cruciverbali

Well spotted crucifernz.

Thanks for the links folks - an enjoyable puzzle with a popular theme. In fact all four pairings can be found in Brewers, 17th Edition, available on-line via Credo reference.

MLN:RUGBY

Thanks Kayakamina & all for congratulations ;-)

Ruthrobin

Enjoyable, I agree, and I have completed it using the Internet, but couldn't find a single one in Brewer. I do have the seventeenth edition but, with the lack of a real index, don't know where to look for this one!

Mysterons

They are all there, listed under 'Nouns of Assemblage'

Ruthrobin

Thanks, Mysterons.

Ont-ice

Thanks Kayakamina.
Congratulations to MNL and Mr. McBain if he is also an Abacker and may be reading this.
Two weeks in a row now that ABackers have won. Slaney being the winner last week.
I do think that I had rather an edge with this one having spent many years in the airline industry.
Thanks to all for your good wishes.

Please note for interest there is now an 18th edition of Brewer's now available

Ont-ice

Apologies for the typos. Of course my message should have read ABank and not ABack.

Christiana

Belated thanks for crossword and warm congratulations to MLN Rugby and Ont-ice

There are plenty of online sources for the unclued lights - essential as I don't have Brewer. I felt that Doc's clueing was almost too straightforward this week - a very quick solve!

Here is a link to the online Brewers (you might need to log in with your library card number):
