🏀 Great to see a strong Cairns connection at the Basketball Australia Coaches Conference in Canberra this week.

Every coach in this photo is either currently coaching in Cairns or has previously coached within the Cairns basketball community. 👏💙

There are certainly a few familiar faces in the mix! 👀 It's fantastic to see local coaching talent continuing to learn, grow and contribute to the game at the highest levels. 🔥🙌

We’re proud to acknowledge the continued support of Cairns Glass & Glazing as a valued sponsor of both our Corporate Box experience and a player co-sponsorship. 🏀💙

💥 BOOM! 7️⃣ from 7️⃣! 🏀🔥
The Industry Estate Agents Cairns Dolphins continue to make waves in the NBL1 North, remaining undefeated after another impressive performance against the Gold Coast Rollers and holding their place at the top of the ladder. 🐬💙

Head Coach Marcus Wong reflects on this week's standout performers and the athletes continuing to make their mark for the Dolphins as they extend their unbeaten start to the 2026 season. 👇🔥

🍔 Grill'd MVP - Taryn Bond
After a quiet start to the game Taz was electric and played with the pace and aggression that we know she can bring. She changed the tempo, put pressure on the rim and created offense for us when we needed it the most.

🍝 Ollie's Italian Coaches Award - Leichan Williams
With early foul trouble LJ came to life in the second half. Her ability to seal and finish around the rim gave us a spark offensively at crucial times. She picked up her work rate in the second half and helped lead us to a tough win.

📸 A few snaps from Muddy's Cafe yesterday!

A huge thank you to Kayci, Rodel and the entire team for hosting such a beautiful Sunday afternoon with our NBL1 North players. 💙☀️

Thanks for having us, Muddy’s, ice-cream and hoops - best Sunday afternoon ever! 🙌 🏀
