Head To Toe Quiz

[Big Jenny]

Could I have clues only to:

Q.36 Support RL's 1-7 (5,5)

and

Q.37 A garment with a crossing in Dumfriesshire (12)

I've found a possible 12 letter answer for Q.37, but I can't really reconcile it with the clue.

Many thanks for any help.

Good clue!

[mallyh]

oops sorry clues only ,slap my wrist

[Big Jenny]

Thanks mallyh for Q.36 (is it something to do with Rugby League positions?)

Oh, dear, weecalf. I'm still having trouble with Q.37. I'm afraid your clue has got me nowhere!!

BJ

[mallyh]

1-7 are backs in rugby +sling =support

[Big Jenny]

Yes, gradually got there, mallyh, though I know nothing about Rugby League.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve weecalf's clue?

I am also looking for q37, but I do not understand the clue and googling does not bring it up, can you expand this clue please.

[weecalf]

ulster is a name for a type heavy garment card game played with bids ....just thinking after all this its prob wrong

[weecalf]

think its wrong but a good clue if anyone is looking for such a thing

[Big Jenny]

Oh well, back to the drawing board. Thanks for the suggestion, weecalf, even though I couldn't make head nor tail of it!

BJ

[mallyh]

what is your suggestion?

[Big Jenny]

The only 12-letter word for an item of clothing in my book is galligaskins, but I can't really fit it to the clue - except that it sounds a bit Scottish!!!

37. An old name for a dress plus a crossing over a river etc. The name is a village in Dumfriesshire.

[Big Jenny]

Got it at last! Thanks, Harrowden. Been searching all this time, but I think I've finally stumbled on it.
