Very hard work but rewarding. But I can’t parse 11a or find a satisfactory second word for 13a. Any suggestions welcome.

I’m so glad it’s not just me struggling with this one. Other than 1, 18, 20 and 21 im utterly stumped. Just can’t get into the swing. Maybe come back to it tomorrow morning with a very large pot of coffee.

Castafiore,
In 11a “games” are letters 3 and 8. Then you have a repeating 2 letter word which slots in and out (if that makes sense).
The second word in 13a is literally a supplement to a (legal) contract. The two word answer is noted in Chambers as “Aust”.

Many thanks, Jono. Not sure I’d ever have got either of those.

Fun but definitely a toughie! I've done ok with the left-hand side, but struggling on the right. Any hints for 6d or 7d would be appreciated!

20a is an anagram with two letters removed.

21d parses as 3, 1, and depends on a little sporting knowledge

Those were my starters - took me ages though!

This is really tough! Almost finished (I hope!) but still can't parse 17D or second word of 2D. Can anybody help please?

2D is a seven letter anagram inside "sexual activity". GK about the British Royal Family needed.
