Domestic team playing at the height of their ability (8) ?i?e?i?e

Boy in news, extremely lucky in resort (6)
s?l?y?

I reckon it's SELWYN which would the the extremes of lucky (L and Y) and an anagram of NEWS

However, I don't see why the name Selwyn should be a "boy" and not a grandfather...?

thanks certainly fits so you think the resort bit indicates an anagram - nothing else seems to answer the clue.

Reckon so, it's not a resort (as in Marbella) but more re-sort telling you that you should re-sort the letters to make the name.

Not much good at explaining but I hope you can get it!!

Good luck

Thanks again had not thought of re sort ill file that away for later use. How about 10A tried Chambers word wizard but cannot spot which word fits

mmmm... sounds to me like a domestic (as in someone who works in the home). Could it be something like FISHWIFE?

Sidewife would be nice but don't think so somehow!

confident about the 4th letter being E as clue for 3D is "Head of Horace in pleasant corner" - has to be niche ......

No probs with niche at all.

Will leave this to one of the brainier people and get my bacon sandwich now!

Good luck.

Fireside?

loosely fits with "domestic" and "side" for "team" but where does the "at the height of their ability" come into it?
