    Anyone know where I'd be able to get a copy of this now, either a hard copy or online? Or if someone hasn't started it yet and could email me a scan of one that'd be brilliant. Not bothered with entering it just enjoy doing sports crosswords.

    Thanks for that, well through it now. I'm kinda at the stage I wish I had never started... cos when I come near the end I panic that I will be short one or two and not be able to finish, and that it was all a waste of precious time.

    7D "the front is done, the back to come"

    NIN__

    Nines or Ninth?

    The front nine and the back nine together are NINES.

    After the NINTH, the front nine is done, the back nine is to come.

    Rod, as in Rod Laver, the tennis player = (Courtier).

    This has nothing to do with this crossword, it is another one I am doing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Art form, abstract painting. 7 letters Unfortunately I have none.

    Ruling of a Jewish religious court. 3 letters ?i?

    The younger at school maybe. 7 letters ?i???u?

    I don't know the last two but there are three types of abstract painting art forms I can think of with seven letters, fauvism, orphism and bauhaus, bauhaus is probably the best known of those three.

    Many thanks.

    I got (din) for the Jewish ruling clue.

    If the abstract painting answer is either of those three the letters of
    The younger at school maybe is either:
    ?i?v?u?
    ?i?h?u?

    The i comes from (win) Dry out the hay, take first place
    The u comes from (run) A fast score in cricket

    Thanks again
