Grunger & Jigjag

Good to hear from you - it`s such a shame the rain is spoiling things when so much work has gone into getting the cricket season underway.
I have to force myself to watch T20 `cricket`- usually with the sound muted to avoid the incessant chat of the commentators.
Donny are at Blackburn today in the EFL Cup - battle of the Rovers!

London tube station apostrophe usage. King's Cross and Earl's Court carry apostrophes while Queens Road, Parsons Green and Barons Court do not. St James’s Park is on the money

Lord`s Cricket Ground correctly has an apostrophe because it`s named after its founder ... Thomas Lord.

Times yesterday:

22A Go first in division after gaining three points (4)

Surely "Wind" is a better answer than the published "Wend"?

Grunger, I think 'wind' would work for all the sports-liking people who know that a win usually gets three points. For others (me), the three points were W, E and N.

I don't think so, grunger - there isn't a definition for wind.

wend is "go" (as in "wend ones way home"). First in Division after the compass points W, E, and N.

...one's...

Thanks

I was thinking "wind" in the sense

The river winds (goes) through the valley.

and "gaining" tends to indicate Win

gringer

yes I put in Wind too.

I didnt think of wend but to have a second collection of random letters (R-ebecca) being the other cant be right.

Jigjag

REBECCA I think the clue was: Girl runs with bunch of keys (8)

I think it's fair enough if after R for runs we have musical notes. I spent a long time wondering if there was a weird word for islands.
