My Mum and I are stumped on the crossword clue 'Association of Sports Clubs'. The letters we have towards it are O-A-UE. Obviously one or more letters may be wrong , but the answers look pretty solid to me. Thanks. :)

    How many letters, and is it straight or cryptic. Where are the letters you already have placed ?

    I think the O's wrong. The answer looks like it should be LEAGUE

    Yeah I thought the 'o' may be wrong. Cheers for that I think you are right. :) We had sovereign for former coin which gave us the 'o'!

    Any help with Saturdays AROWORD answer please. The clue is holiday destination. Don't know how many words and some of the letters of the anagram are probably wrong:

    A I R A A G N R A N C

    Many thanks. :)
