And I'm bored
And my Dad set me a teaser this morning that is still bugging me - can you help?

What 5 sports use a net, but not a ball?

The ones we have come up with so far are ice hockey, badminton and fishing.

Hammer throwing????

prufrock · 01/11/2002 14:37

No - apparently that's a cage not a net - same goes for discus.
