A Review by Prolixic
Congratulations to pommers who was the lucky name drawn out of the hat for this month’s prize puzzle. He correctly identified that of the themed across answers, Fermanagh was the correct intended answer as being the only one of the counties in Northern Ireland, the others all being counties in the Republic of Ireland.
An honourable mention must also go to Helen who not only identified the correct answer but also spotted another potential odd one out. Tipperary is now two counties, North and South Tipperary and is the only one to be sub-divided.

A review by Prolixic
The sacred runes have been expertly cast by Mrs BD and the lot has fallen on Nick Hubbard as the lucky winner of the September Monthly Prize Puzzle. He correctly identified that the crossword produced by Radler omitted sixteen occurrences of the letter Z from the wordplay and that the answers to 1, 5, 11 and 13 across asked us to identify the number of times the letter Z was used in the solutions.
Explanations for the answers are given below.
