Thanks for the Hospital Pass - we have a tie!
I need some time to pick the winner and sum up - back later!

Thanks for entering, our numbers do seem to be dwindling but I am happy to keep supporting the competitions.

Mattrom@11 and Jono@6 tied for first place with 2 votes each. Jono also received a vote for @14. I give Jono@6 my deciding vote just ahead of Mattrom, bad luck M! Well done Jono - your winning clue is ...

His laptop crashed as someone initially made a killer throw? (8,4)

Your prizes are some Rugby tackles ...

Cheers!

Congrats jono and thanks tyke.
I winced at the rugby tackles. I reckon 2 of them - possibly more - would be red cards under current interpretations.

Many thanks Mattrom, Chris and a Paul for votes and to Tyke for a fun challenge, enjoyed the prizes. Hopefully, we’ll have a few of the regulars back for next week

Well done Jon and cheers Tyke! Think it may have been the limited opportunity for wordplay allied to the specificity of the def that may have put off the others? I hope so otherwise we’re in trouble!

Congrats to all! Thanks to all! We few, we happy few....
