The Concise Oxford Dictionary (1925) describes fives as a ball game played with hands or bat in court with two, three or four walls. The name may be derived from the slang expression “a bunch of fives” (meaning a fist). The game has also been known ashand- tennis and historically was often played between the buttresses of church buildings in England. ‘Fives cottage’ is so called because a fives court stood in the garden, an original wall still facing orange street.
