6d Inners are positions in hockey and targets in archery darts etc

Swelling (red)? = red carp ?

Question Author

Thanks Jj. Very pleased to have inners confirmed. Although I knew about targets in archery etc, the info about hockey was helpful.

The 'e' of inners gives ?e? carp for 18a.

Yes, SEA CARP (the 'swell' = poetic/figurative 'sea' and to carp is to nag/complain).
