Well i've got the 'border dispute' and border solved, living here a help, the bone of contention usually half-baked and nasty, but need help with a few clues:

23d first nip of gin spikes candles (6) -l----

6d barge spanish footballer (5) --r-a

36a assailant to supplant arcadia? (8) -esn---- (may have ketter wroing here)

hope that'll do it, but may have to come back for the substitutions

[Neveracrossword]

23 Glace, G(in)+Laces, spikes.

6 Barca - a barge and a Spanish team, (Barcelona). I think the clue was probably footballers. plural.

36 Besetter, assailant and someone who'd hope to replace Arcadia, be (the) setter!

23...Glaces, sorry.

I’ve finished but stumped on the 10 letters to describe the border. I have one answer but not convinced it’s right . Can you give me a hint please.

[Neveracrossword]

Jadzia, the border has two words of equal length, one's horizontal, the other isn't....
