4 hrs confidence: (Valencian-variety) 'Fives'
Explanation: Literally like a glove, pelota and its variations are almost 'on all fours' with Fives, mainly played at schools in the South East of England (whilst players from other parts of the Brit. Isles - esp. North of the Border! - excelled or still excel at the sport) and with a glove worn or using a bat or racquet. There are two main types: Eton (our school variety) and Rugby Fives. We are too busy these days tucking into 'paella valenciana' but, anecdotally, I would just mention that a school friend of mine - who has, coincidentally, moved from the South of England to a rue du *jeu de paume* in the South of France - and I used to be very handy at Fives - that closely resembles a series of pelota ball games. Alas, the Fives Courts at our old school have fallen into desuetude, but the echoes of school competitions up to half a century ago still reverberate around the - indoor and outdoor - walls.

You are welcome. Coincidentally, Simon & Schuster (US-published SPA/ENG dictionary) cites five-a-aside 'baloncesto' - basketball as a translation for five(s). Otherwise, I have for - over half a century - decribed to Spanish speakers - and without any further enquiry or questions from them - our school game of Fives as 'pelota'.
Example sentence(s):- Fives is an English sport believed to derive from the same origins as many racquet sports. In fives, a ball is propelled against the walls of a 3- or 4-sided special court, using a gloved or bare hand as though it were a racquet, similar to hand-pelota.
- The name of Fives may be derived from the slang expression "a bunch of fives" (meaning a fist).

Asker: That's interesting. I always thought "fives" meant 5-a-side rugby or footy. I stand corrected!
