The following are my solutions in order as asked
Liv, japan
8 across pivac so contracts would fit 9 down, I don’t see how crusaders would fit as one person has suggested?
Lyng would fit if japan is 48 across
Brendan as in ladies gaa cup “brendan martin cup”
Hope someone has a suggestion for 106 across I can’t figure it out hence my username as I have nearly torn out all my hair.
Happy New Year may one of you get the flag.
