Guardian Prize Parsing

[ahcc]

A few answer verification / parsings I would appreciate help with.

11 Across: What spaces left I filled with dry food (9) - Must be SPAGHETTI for food or dry food but not sure on the wordplay.

2 Down: Water-carrying duo entering arena for Ipswich Town telethon? (11,4) - it’s PORTMANTEAU WORD and I see it’s an anagram of WATER and DUO after PORTMAN but I can’t see how the clue tells you to do those things in that order.

5 Down: Not the first put off flight (9) - is SKEDADDLE for flight but can’t see the word play.

6 Down: To which sank Section G even lower? (5) - DEPTH but I don’t know why, perhaps Section G is referencing something I don’t know?

14 Down: Shilling rung through again for one enjoying Boxing Day feast (2,7) - ST STEPHEN. I assume the ringing through again references the repetition of STST at the start but I can’t see how it all works.

19 Down: Superior craft? Superior spinner! (5) - I have L_K_R and have pencilled in LAKER but is that right and if so why?

TIA for any help with any of these.

[haras2]

laker was a famous spin bowler
A laker is a type of boat on the Great Lakes
I think

[Buenchico]

Agreed, Haras2:

[Buenchico]

. . . and, of course, Superior is one of the Great Lakes.

[haras2]

Must be right then!
Thanks for the confirmation

6d presumably Department H - dept H is lower than Section G.

19d Jim Laker was a spin bowler playing for MCC in 1950s.
Lake Superior is one of the Great Laker.

Shilling=s
Rung through again=step in then

5 (a)sked (put) addle (off)

11 I TT(dry) eh(what) Gaps, all reversed

[scorpiojo]

Ipswich play at Portman Road

[Buenchico]

2d: I've not yet fully parsed it but are you sure about the anagram?

I'm seeing PORTMAN RD for 'Ipswich Town' and EAU for 'water' as a starting point.

[cashier]

11 Gaps (spaces)reversed
What=eh
Dry=TT (tee total)
I=I

[Buenchico]

. . . and the remaining 'TWO' makes the 'duo'!

[cashier]

2 Portman Rd with eau (water) in two (duo)

[ahcc]

Thanks so much! Section G to Dept H is just me and the setter on totally different wavelengths!

Re ADDLE = Off, am I right in saying addle is a verb and off an adjective. Addle = put off works but you need put = ASKED. Is put doing double duty or am I missing something?

Finally re 2 down, how funny that Water and Duo make an anagram of the final 8 letters of the answer and yet fit in in a completely different way.

Thanks again for all your help.

Does Def 4 here just about sneak in?

ad•dle (ˈæd l)

v. -dled, -dling,
adj. v.t., v.i.
1. to make or become confused.
2. to make or become rotten, as eggs.
adj.
3. mentally confused; muddled (usu. used in combination): addleheaded.
4. rotten: addle eggs.

[ahcc]

Absolutely. In fact looking in Chambers (app version) it gives first a noun, then adjective as follows, with the verb last. So what do I know, eh?

adjective
Putrid
Bad (eg of an egg)
Barren, empty
Muddled
