Hi! Can anyone help on these please:
14d: Split up set stolen from a poorly renovated school (7)
I have R?E?E??
25a: Lords members maybe nervous here, being of a certain age group (8)
I have N???T?E? and am thinking of nineties or nineteen ("age group") but can't reconcile either of them with the rest of the clue.
The last letter of 14d is also the third letter of 25a if that's any help.
Thanks very much.

25a,, the lords members could refer to cricket at lords cricket ground, and a cricketer gets nervous when he reaches the nineties, I think your nineties is right.

Thanks very much for your answers. Greatly appreciated, especially the explanations. I have absolutely no knowledge of cricket at all. For some reason I became fixated on the house of lords. Apologies if this thread has been duplicated. My internet connection was unstable this morning and when I originally posted it gave me an error message so I pressed the "retry" button.
