Crossword help!

[Em78]

please help me i am really stuck on my crossword and i hate not finishing them!

Form of Cricket? (3,3,3)

i think these are some of the letters but dont rely on them!

TI_ / AN_ / _UN

also

Arrival or coming? (6)

T_ _ ENT - not 100% on the first T but i think its good.

if this makes sense - the letter after AN in the first clue, will be the second letter of the T_ _ENT .

anyone?

The second word is advent

 

[hearts81]

Any chance the first one could be hit and run?

 

[beanie]

I thought that Hearts

 

[Em78]

tried that hazel and it messes up my one down! 99% sure on that one.

ok if Advent is the second one then anyone know... Poker stake (4)
A _ TE?

we had Tote as it was all we could think of!

Ante?

 

[Em78]

ok poker stake is ANTE - i'm so thick, dh got it!

so it would work it being hit and run but it throws my one down!
thats To repulse (5,3) which i have as fight off - it fits everywhere except it means the cricket one starts with a T

hte dictionary definition of fight off is to repulse so i'm sure its right!

this will bug me al night now!

thanks though Hazel - Advent was spot on!
