Is anyone looking at this one? I have a full grid apart from the perimeter and have most of the omitted/added letters, but can't decipher the preamble well enough to work out what sort of internationals I should be looking for. Any nudges would be appreciated.

Hello Marca

In the perimeter the first (surname) starts in the top left corner and is 11 letters long, second (first name) is 9 letters, third (surname) 9 letters, fourth (first name) 7 letters, fifth (surname) 8 letters.

It's nothing to do with sport, and it's actually two loose associations which together number 11. It might help you to know that the first word in the perimeter begins in the top left hand corner and has 11 letters.

As a second nudge, you need to interpret the word "scored" in the penultimate line of the preamble in a non-sporting way

pkd, sorry for the duplication, I'm a slow typist

Thank you both very much. I shall look again with renewed interest

Hankir, "see" is a Latin instruction so not C but V. A hint for three down would be appreciated.

Many thanks for your help Hankir. Agree with your last comment.

A bit behind the curve on this one.
Have almost full grid except some of BLHC.
I have a name down the RHS, this leaves the top as ??I?LE?ERR? - no idea as the word search engines I am familiar with don't find proper nouns.
Pointer appreciated.

Crackabilly, Compose yourself and think French females.

Yes, I think could do that.
Thanks for the hint Alwayspuzzled
