Sport poll of the week
What sport should get more coverage on Daily Darwin?
The Northern Territory Football League is one of Australia's most distinctive competitions, shaped by the Top End's unique community spirit, its tropical seasons and a deep connection to Indigenous football culture.
Darwin's dry season brings out the cricket whites, and the Darwin and District Cricket Association has been the hub of the game in the Top End for generations.
From beginners rallying under the dry-season sun to seasoned competitors chasing pennant glory, Darwin's tennis community welcomes players of all ages and abilities.
