Off-target Cutters too good
Reigning premiers South Cairns leapt to second on the AFL Cairns Women’s ladder, jumping over rivals Manunda. The Cutters of South Cairns peppered the goals at Fretwell Park on Saturday, recording 13 scoring shots, but could only come away with three goals. It was enough to see them edge past newcomers Cairns Saints by 13-points, to grab their fifth win of the season. “It was a good win for the ladies,” Cutters president Peter Kennedy said.

Emerging teenager Kitara Farrar was everywhere for the Cutters while Stephanie Mooka, Millie Stephen and Georgia Ann Templeman each booted a major on the steady march to victory.
At Griffiths Park, North Cairns overcame some unavailability to key players to chalk up win number nine, without loss, for season 2018.
Tigers Hadassah Nicholson and Seneva Baira both kicked two goals to seal the victory over Manunda, which sent the Hawks to third on the ladder.
“Everyone stepped up, we wanted to fight and win the game and we showed that,” Tiger Shay Warburton said.
“It is a great feeling to have a win over the Hawks.” BOSTON Celtics teammates have welcomed Mareeba centre Aron Baynes signing on to stay with the NBA club for another two seasons. Baynes has agreed to a two-year deal worth $US11 million ($A15 million). “Man, I was extremely happy to see him coming back,” Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum said. “He was our best defensive player, him an Al Horford protecting the paint and talking. “He was a guy that was a big part of our success this past season.” The second year is at Baynes’ option, meaning he could be a free agent again next summer. Baynes had 19 double-figure scoring games last season for Boston, including playoffs — and the Celtics went 17-2 in those games. The 208cm centre averaged six points and 5.4 rebounds last season.
