Game requiring a plate to be smashed with a disc? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pelota

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

'a plate to be smashed with a disc?' is the wordplay.
'to be smashed with' indicates an anagram.
'a disc?' becomes 'O' (disc-shaped letter).
'plate' anagrammed with 'o' makes 'PELOTA'.

'requiring' is the link.

(Other definitions for pelota that I've seen before include "Basque ball-game" , "Basque sport" , "Spanish game played with a ball and wickerwork racket" , "Spanish game at Opel" , "SPORT/GAME" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
