I don't play poker so I don't know but...

Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks - for example 7-7-7-10-6. This is sometimes known as a triplet or trips.

54A Cannot figure this out. Are the dutch the new black????. Is it Orange.

dxhound2005

Yes, Orange.

The Netflix series is called "Orange is the New Black" because it is based off of a memoir by Piper Kerman called Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison. As the other answers have said, "the new black" is an idiom of sorts in fashion, because wearing black is fashionable (black goes with everything).

37d a name steeped in premiership legend (7 and 4) m**h*e***an - Could your "a" be wrong? (MICHAEL OWEN)

dxhound2005

It could be Michael Ryan, the Tipperary hurling manager, with Tipp being known as the Premier County.

leitrimexile

thanks lads, 69a is Bosnia so Michael Ryan is the most obvious answer. Its tough this year.

Just 13 and 29 down and 50 d

29d chic lens captures victory (7) *l*n*he* sounds like a horse racing one and Im crap with these.

50 d *N* (3) you get four bowls each with one of these

dxhound2005

Clinches as in clinches victory (8 letters).
End

Thanks Dxhoud2005 For the answer Orange. Not a Netflix fan myself.

laoisman2016

Evening,

Just need one more answer to finish this off.

71 A (Keep this warm until you're needed)

Thought it was "tenth" then seen there's a cycling term called "senth"

If anyone needs solutions I'll throw them out don't hesitate to ask

Thanks in advance!

dxhound2005

I haven't got the crossword, but it must be Bench.

laoisman2016

I'm actually retarded, appreciate it man
