Guardian Last Two

[olegrahl]

I have two eight letter clues left;
-O-E----Y
---E-A-E
They begin with F and B.

F Sally to take in top football competition? That's just the start of it! (8)
(Foreplay? If so, why?)

B Fast runner, athlete taking a run out of Salisbury now (4,4)

Also why handrail? Clean fight?

I'll shut up now.
Do ScorpioJo and Bibblebub ever not complete the crosswords? How long do they take?

[bibblebub]

F: sally = FORAY
top football competition = EPL - English Premier League

B blue har(ar)e

[bibblebub]

B: BLUE HARE =fast runner

athlete = BLUE - for oxbridge
taking a run out of Salisbury now = H(ar)ARE

Harare used to be called Salisbury when the country was called Rhodesia

[bibblebub]

paris's main = HAND - 'main' is the french word for hand
form of transport = RAIL

[sedge47]

Main is word for hand in French. Rail is form of transport.

[bibblebub]

c: yes clean fight

I almost didn't do it this week because I prefer simple crosswords where you have the clues and know where to place the answers without having to mess around with either
