Five pieces of ____ are used in a full-sized snooker table (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slate

(Other definitions for slate that I've seen before include "Bluish-grey colour" , "A roof-tile; criticise heavily" , "list of candidates" , "Roofing plate" , "Metamorphic rock that can be split into thin layers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
