NPR Sunday Puzzle (July 15): Outdoor Sports Centre

NPR Sunday Puzzle (July 15): Outdoor Sports Centre:
Q: Name two outdoor sports or games in seven letters. The first two letters of the first sports name are the same as the first two letters in the second sports name. And the last two letters of the first sports name are the same as the last two letters in the second sports name. Hint: The names do not end in 'N-G.' What sports or outdoor games are these?
Incidentally, I'll be travelling on holiday shortly (gone for a fortnight), so I won't be able to post clues or answers during that time. You'll just have to get your clues from listening to the NPR programme. Cheerio!

Edit: Well, I'm a little late in getting this updated. The hints (centre, travelling, holiday, fortnight, programme, cheerio) were obviously pointing to sports that are typically British. So time for the answer:
A: CRICKET and CROQUET

    I just found your blog and it is fun reading. You might enjoy our website, too: www.audiopuzzles.com . I won't post details here because I don't want to spam your blog. Fun stuff, though.

    Sincerely,

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.

You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
