Dave Howell is having quite a weekend.   Not only did he finish in fourth place in the Times Crossword Championships, he has today become the first person to win our Monthly Prize Puzzle Competition for the second time.     He solved  the puzzle and then spotted  that the football team Charlton Athletic was hidden in the solution.  If you couldn’t find  it, have a look at the grid at the end of the review.
