I'm rather surprised to be the first to scream for assistance with this one which is not the gentle stroll through the lower levels of the mind that a chap needs on a bank holiday.

I have filled in quite a lot of it, though with no great air of conviction, & might be able to make more progress if someone could supply the answers to these 2 :

3 D - Monitors shot youngster tailing guard (5, 4, 2)
&
29 D - Catch up, wanting desperately to cover cup game (6, 7)

I'm not adding any of the letters I think i have in these as so to do merely may mislead......

Thanks in advance

Malone,
Thanks as ever. Surprisingly (to me) this means most of my other answers in that area were correct, though I shall have to rethink 29A as what I put in is either twaddle or wishful thinking (or both).

Thanks again.

Bear, glad I could help. As I seldom parse at the time, it's good for me to do so at some point!
