[Fairlight]

Thank you very much for your answers Captain2, Calibax and mahonia :)
For no. 2 we thought COXLESS FOURS, but I think COXLESS PAIRS sounds better, thanks

Hi Fairlight!

I have put 'Football' for 1) and 'Shot' for 3). Not great, but will best I can do for now. 2) is surely Coxless Eight. What do you (or anyone) get for no. 35 - 'This gets a red card in soccer' 6 letters - please?

[Yamenja]

Oh sorry I couldnt see the other answers when I replied.... nice to see there is some agreement though! :)

[Fairlight]

Yamenja--have just seen your question about `this gets a red card in soccer`---I know it`s too late now, you`ve probably sent the quiz in, but we put DIVING---even though it doesn`t usually get a red card. We couldn`t think of anything else.

Hi Fairlight
Thanks for that... yes, we had Diving too... I also put Boxing, in case there was a mistake and he had that twice.
Am looking forward to the kick-yourself moment when we find out what it was meant to be...!!
Good luck with the results! :)

I`ve just looked back and see that you put Coxless Eight---that sounds like a good answer. We put Coxless Fours and Coxless Pairs. Pears as in no apples, but eight sound good (ate the apples) lol
We should get the answers any day now :)
