Figures in court, gamely (5)
I believe the answer is:
fives
'figures' is the definition.
(I know this)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fives that I've seen before include "bunch capable of causing injury?" , "Game similar to squash" , "Indoor court game" , "Squash relative" , "Ball game" .)
