blat is an exam paper

can anyone verify LEATHER and ROACH respectively for 2D and 7A?

John,
Kid is leather.
The crossword dictionary gives leather as one answer for ball.

Roach also means cut.

8a ROACH = to cut a horse's mane.

TCD says leather is the ball in certain game.

Thanks guys much appreciated
