Re: Only Connect clues
Bat, Bowl and Field are words used in cricket.
The fourth could be Officiate, which is done by the umpires, or possibly Short as in Short Ball, Short Leg. Maybe.
Or are they all red herrings?

Re: Only Connect clues
That's it, Barnard. Well worked out.
Yes, officiate is the fourth. I could have put the more specific umpire / umpiring, but thought that was too obvious. So yeah, they're all the four main Cricket roles - bat, bowl, field, officiate.
Dove. Short. Faith.
Change. Cross. Lee
Bur. Peace. Crew.
Under. Sabbath. Pool.

Short, Cross, Crew and Under can all precede Cut.

Re: Only Connect clues
Very good.
Bowl was also a red herring for that but you've solved that group already.
Dove. Faith.
Change. Lee
Bur. Peace.
Sabbath. Pool.

Re: Only Connect clues
Sorry, I meant to give a clue earlier today but I'm having quite a few hectic days of late.
One connection is put something before or after each clue, in this case it's the same two words each time.
The other group is add / remove / change a letter to form a connection.

Re: Only Connect clues
Is one of them keep the - keep the faith, keep the change, keep the peace and keep the Sabbath?
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

Re: Only Connect clues
Great work.
Yes, that's spot on.
Which just leaves the change / add / remove a letter group of: Dove. Lee. Bur. Pool.
Hopefully it's a help to say that both Crew and Bat were red herrings for it as well.

Re: Only Connect clues
Add a letter to make a town - Dover, Lees, Bury, Poole?
The red herrings would have been Crewe and Bath.

Yes, that's it. Well worked out, Anita.
I was thinking of Leek, but Lees works just as well.
Bath is obviously a city unlike the others, but as it was only a red herring then that doesn't matter.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Only Connect clues
Very good.
Remaining clues:
Terminal. Dollar.
Shorts. Circle.
Grass. Ladykillers.
Triangle. Post.
Of the final two groups, one is entertainment based; the other connection is an add the same thing before or after each clue.
