handball?

[pixie374]

I thought that, ubasses... but wouldn't that be racquet?

[ubasses]

racket1

noun
a bat with a round or oval frame strung with catgut, nylon, etc., used especially in tennis, badminton, and squash.

[pixie374]

Ah, sorry. Football, basketball... is that the full clue, puzzld?

[cashier]

Netball

[ubasses]

could be volleyball, most racket games (apart from squash) are played over a net, so may be a better fit.

A racket is not needed for this event
It's the word event that's getting me, suggests to me something like, I think I've just got the answer
Badminton, what do you think?

[pixie374]

Perfect! Horses...

[ubasses]

You may have got it. Badminton is played with a racket, Badminton Horese Trials is an event and the clue refers to an event.
