14A: two full football teams!!! = marshman (partners with 24A)
ReplyDeleteSathia
I think this is incorrect
DeleteThe parsing is:
DeleteCornishman is from Cornwall a place in England and Marshman is either from Norfolk or Kent. Both may have football teams!
Sathia
Try to solve 12d, then you will see that Marshman is wrong.

ReplyDeletestuPOR Delicately (pord=backdrop).
Backdrop is right.

12 dn elk buckle-cub kle*
ReplyDeleteThat's great! All done.
ReplyDeleteWe can discuss the remaining annos for a bit and then close.

Here are the remaining annos as intended:
ReplyDelete30a. Skylit
ReplyDeleteDef: bright
Blue = sky
Every third letter from "all bright" = lit (stripes is the indicator)
8D: most importance(gravit)
ReplyDeletemainstream=current(i) knowledge(no)
