Just two letters left!
1d Card-playing group capture container for the young (6,3)
?C?O?L,?A?
Pretty obvious what the first word is, but I can't make sense of either reasonable possibility for the second.
It's just possible that the middle letter is an O, but that doesn't seem to help, and it would mean that 15a was a poor clue.

capture - verb *a*

Isn't the second word - that makes up a part of the whole - another word for "capture"?

I cannot offer any more without saying the word outright!

The first word would refer to a group playing Poker

Thanks both. That equivalence simple hadn't sprung to mind!

You're welcome, Chris!

Stuck on the last one (literally),
24A: Both ways painters begin spraying pieces of tapestry (5).
I have *R*A*

Pieces of tapestry is the definition. You need the usual Painter stuff, twice (but both ways, so...) with 'begin spraying' (the usual 'begin' stuff).

Arras.

Thank you. Makes sense when explained.
