42a Striking offence, collaring young womans head before rest of her (6) SIGNAL

41d Unrivalled hero's upset, accepting new cut (9) NONPAREIL


thanks in advance!

The young woman is GAL. Put her first of her (G) inside SIN and then put the rest of her (AL)

sin with G (girl/young women's head) + AL (gal)

n pare (new cut) with lion around reversed.

The hero is LION, backwards is NO IL

Put inside new (N) and cut (PARE) gives the answer

Thanks a lot, Berkspotter and Brackendale!
