16ac. "Longstanding" place in the capital, 14across(lacrosse), initially. T?l?.10d. Did a little brat run into an opener at the Oval?. Br?t. many thanks in advance.
Mamya, your version of 14a makes sense.
14across(lacrosse), initially.T?l?, as entered by boomerang, doesn't. If the answer was already known, why include it, and where does the T?l? come from? Unfortunately bomerang is the only person who can explain, and the boomerang doesn't seem to have come back yet. Perhaps it hit the crossbar.
