Independent on Sunday 925 by Quixote

Mostly fairly straightforward, I found, but some tricky clues.   Solving time: 18 mins.

Notes on some clues below – happy to explain others if asked.

ACROSS

11 RED EEM    Definition is ‘deliver’    claret = red and final letters ‘latest’= of ‘the wine firm’

14 TIMEKEEPER    Time is the enemy.

19 ERENOW     Hidden.   Definition is ‘previously’    Only six (letters)  of wERE NO Women

DOWN

8 A CH IE VER(y)

12 PEN (I)CILLIN         Writin’ = pencillin’

15 SECOND ER   “Our present Queen is champion!”    Tip-top clue, my favourite in puzzle.  Champion = backer = seconder.    Queen Elizabeth II is second ER.
