Supply teacher patch for sleeve (5)

Get it on with head of company again (5)

Perhaps play ace of clubs on top (5)

Getting near the 8 p.m. deadline. I have an extensive short list of ingenious clues but have to go out for just under a couple of hours..

Report and result to come, followed by Peer Review.

Thank you for a high class entry of clues for COVER. There was a good spread of definitions. Particularly neat was jono's #2 'He may have caught some balls', requiring knowledge of cricket terms. I also liked tyke's reference #21 to equine sexual relations: 'Stud farm to make such a charge?'. My other favourites were jono #3 'Insurance company excessively detailed' (read the small print!), aristo #24 'Get it on with head of company again' and a fine pair from mathprof #16 and #17: 'Caught paramour topless in blanket' and 'Plant left out in shade' (probably my choices for 2nd and 3rd place respectively).

Really difficult, as so often, to choose a winner but I have to select one. I was most impressed by the smooth surface of paul's #13, so it gets the nod:
Rescue missing soldiers from hiding place (5)

Well done, paul! As a prize I hope you will like this busking tour de force. https://youtu.be/qE2tf3B1t4c

Very neat Paul, well deserved. I also liked the brace from Mathprof. Thanks for the challenge and the mentions PaulH.
