Round 18
First to complete all these snooker-related words gets the point!
Across
1 knock this 2nd ball in your garden
4 Useful implement has many legs
7 He likes to change 2 down
8 Welsh wizard
10 Arithmetic and mental strength are not his strongest points (2 words)
11 He's fast, round and light, with a honeycomb centre
12 Use this side when back off a cushion?
Down
1 Who will take this title on Sunday (2 words)?
2 Good advice to have this on your cue
3 Having all these 147s sounds rather painful (2 words)
5 Do this to score
6 Only hit this kind of ball
9 Dennis remembers the final one
10 Has this Tony been to the moon yet?"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

I have now indicated where a clue consists of two words, although am not saying how many letters in each.
There is another one of the clues, which I have not said is "2 words", that could be debated whether it is 2 words - I shall say no more than that!"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

By the way, did you see the final scoreboard on the BDE thread on BBC, that I posted just before the site went down? You got the last point there, The Statman!"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Why? Because it was me who got there first, or because it was April who got there second?Comment

Oh no, no problem, I'll just have to learn to be quicker next time. I like a good challenge!!! Tho taking on The Statman might prove a little hard.
