Throwing a game (7)

I believe the answer is:

hurling

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'throwing' is the first definition.
(hurling is a kind of throwing)

'a game' is the second definition.
(hurling is a kind of game)

(Other definitions for hurling that I've seen before include "Throwing" , "Irish game" , "Gaelic game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Hindu.
