Bunyan hopes to get Gladiators 'back fighting'
"The club means a lot to me and my family – my brother Keith played for the club for six years and also lifted silverware here – and we've supported the club my whole life. It's like a second home for me."It was a tough season for our men's team last season, but I'm determined to improve results and see us perform to the levels I know we're capable of."The aim now is to get the club back to where it should be – fighting for championships and back up towards the top of the league, putting in good performances in front of our home crowd."Chief executive Tony McDaid added: "Everybody at the club has been hugely impressed by Jonny since he stepped into the head coach role earlier this year."He has a real command of the dressing room and we view Jonny as a natural fit for this role longer term. We know Jonny is a real fan favourite and we hope this news will be well received by fans as we look forward to the new season."

CALUM CROWE: Scott Brown can't live on reputation forever ... he needs to buck up his ideas before it's too late
When Ayr United's bid to win promotion ended in failure at the end of last season, Scott Brown's criticism of his players was brutal and unsparing. After watching his team blow a first-leg lead and lose to Partick Thistle in the play-offs, the former Celtic captain essentially threw them under a bus.

Dodgers reliever Brock Stewart (shoulder) placed on 15-day IL
August 13 - Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Brock Stewart is being placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, manager Dave Roberts told reporters Tuesday. Roberts said he believes that the team caught this situation early. Stewart last appeared in a game on Aug. 9 vs. Toronto, tossing a scoreless inning. He'll undergo testing on Wednesday, per Roberts. Stewart, who was drafted by the Dodgers in 2014, returned to the organization as a trade-deadline acquisition from the Minnesota Twins. He's made four appearances for the Dodgers, allowing two earned runs over 3 2/3 innings. The right-handed pitcher has posted a 2.63 ERA over a career-high 37.2 innings this season while making a career-high 43 appearances, 15 more than he's made in any prior season. The Athletic reported that RHP Edgardo Henriquez (1.59 ERA over 5.2 career major-league innings) has joined the Dodgers in Anaheim to take Stewart's roster spot for Wednesday's cross-city matchup with the Angels. -Field Level Media

Aussie sports star shocks as she flaunts her peachy bottom in very skimpy bikini during yacht party in Ibiza
Australian basketball star Liz Cambage left little to the imagination as she partied on a yacht in Ibiza on Tuesday. The 33-year-old shared an Instagram post during her trip including one video which saw her flaunting her peachy bottom in very skimpy bikini. In the video, Liz twerked towards the camera before turning around and shaking her hips from side to side. The basketball star flaunted her figure and pert derrière in a skimpy black bikini top and matching G-string bottoms. 'Unsure how 3 days in Ibiza turned in to 2 weeks but I'm not mad at it. Thank you @xtratheparty for having me on the island, and all my friends who make it the best time ever always,' she wrote. 'I'm back next week for my birthday and wild corner take over @hiibizaofficial for @domdolla !!!!!!' A four-time All-Star, Liz ended her basketball career in 2022 after mutually parting ways with the Sparks. She signed a one-year deal for $170,000 in February of that year before exploring other opportunities. The Australian center joined Maccabi Bnod Ashdod in Israel and her current team, SiChuan Yuanada. Additionally, she turned to OnlyFans, where her financial success went beyond her WNBA wages. Liz reportedly earned more in her first week on the platform than she did in all her years on the basketball court. According to the sports star, joining OnlyFans was not just a financial move but a way to express another side of herself. Her success on OnlyFans reignited conversations around the pay disparities in professional sports, particularly between the WNBA and NBA. Although she earned $221,450 in her highest-paying season, the gap in pay remains glaringly concerning. Liz now earns $1.5 million annually through OnlyFans as she continues to build her personal brand. She recently said that she is 'not closing any doors, but right now, I'm focusing on building something new.' In addition to her time with the Sparks, Liz was drafted by the Tulsa Shock in 2011 and also played for the Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces. She was the WNBA scoring leader and made the All-WNBA First Team in 2018. She also represented Australia and won a silver medal in the 2018 FIBA World Cup and a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics.
