Cairns Dolphins hold second place overall in the NBL1 North basketball standings after completing 14 games with 12 wins.

The result places the club at the centre of local amateur league attention this week as clubs across multiple codes release updated tables. The region supports more than 400 competitive sport clubs across at least 30 leagues that include netball, rugby league, soccer, baseball and AFL.

Other amateur tables show clear leaders

In Cairns Legends Football the Over 45s division has a clear front-runner while the Over 35s group remains level at the bottom. Miami leads the Over 45s with 52 points from 23 matches. All four Over 35s sides-Cairns United, JGFA 35s, New Team and Reds-sit on zero points.

AFL Cairns Round 11 features a match between Cairns Saints and Port Douglas. Port Douglas defeated Cairns Saints 100-84 in the 2025 Grand Final.

Golf pairs remain locked at the top

The Tuesday X-League Cairns golf season shows LJ Hookers and Smoke Hazard tied on 31 points with seven wins each after 10 games. These results come from the same set of amateur competitions tracked through the listed league sites.

Local clubs continue to monitor results through the published tables on cairnslegendsfootball.com.au/table and nbl1.com.au. The next round of fixtures will determine whether the current leaders extend their margins or whether the chasing sides close the gaps.
