Can someone parse this out at all? 15squared haven't blogged it yet; I got the answer but don't really get the wordplay:

Top man in red and white clipping No 1 from Norwich against Bury

VINTNER

Oh, I get it. Sorry:
V(ersus)INT-(+N(orwich))-ER
Red and White wines. Doh...

red and white refers to wine. bury - inter. against = v. Clips op from Norwich = N.
Think that's it

Thanks anyway AJT. Been staring at that for 15 mins and lost patience. Suddenly it came to me after posting. But thanks again.

This one is really bugging me:

15D Prepared with fruity outgrowth (3)
A?A

ALA(te)

Thanks K: "ALA" is indeed correct, but I was reluctant to enter it because I didn't feel that "A LA" really means "PREPARED WITH". I put "ADA", an Indian dish prepared in banana leaves. It still seems much closer to the mark!
