Bowling game with nine pins (8)

I believe the answer is:

skittles

(Other definitions for skittles that I've seen before include "Bowling game" , "Ninepins" , "bowling pursuit" , "Game in which ball is aimed at pins" , "Game played in an alley" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
