Game left over at end of table (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lacrosse

'game' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a kind of game)

'left over at end of table' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'across' ('across' can be a synonym of 'over'**).
'at end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'table' is 'e'.
'l'+'across'+'e'='LACROSSE'

(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Sport played with sticks" , "Game played with nets on sticks" , "Ball game using netted stick" , "Score's uncertain after the Spanish" , "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
