Our very own Hawke's Bay Hawks have been making waves in the league! Darnell Cowart delivered back-to-back Player of the Game performances last week, while Jackson Ball, recently turned 17, put up an astonishing 40 points in one game - then followed it up with 36 points just three days later!

We are excited to see two teams we proudly support face off this Saturday as the Hawks head up north to take on Tauranga Whai Basketball!

We handle the sport visas for multiple teams in the league, as well as rugby and football, so keep an eye out for more exciting games coming up!

A huge congratulations to the Indian Panthers and Hawke's Bay Hawks on an incredible start to the season. A special shout out to the Panthers for making history in their New Zealand NBL debut and securing a win in the Rapid League. What a way to begin!

It was inspiring to see true sportsmanship, with local players stepping up to support the Panthers as they await their full squad’s arrival from India.

Visa challenges have made the team’s journey to the league difficult so far, but we’re proud to announce that at Hawks GM Jarrod Kenny’s recommendation we have now been appointed to stand with the Panthers and help bring their national players to New Zealand! Game on.

Next up: another exciting home game featuring two teams we proudly support - Hawks vs Jets! Don’t miss it!

Date: Saturday, March 15th
Time: Rapid League - 3 PM. NBL - 4 PM
Location: Rodney Green Arena

🏀The New Zealand National Basketball League Tips Off This Week!

The season kicks off with an exciting matchup between our very own Bay Hawks and the newly formed Indian Panthers!

While visa challenges unfortunately have kept the Panthers from competing in the Westside Blitz, they’re ready to make their highly anticipated debut on Wednesday, March 12th, with a kiwi-loaded side til the national players get here from their representative camp.

We’re thrilled to welcome the Indian Panthers to the league for the first time and can’t wait to see them in action. Mark your calendars! This season is going to be one to remember!

We think Patrick Tuifua deserves our client group's breakout athletic performance of the year. We celebrated a lot of highs this year with our sports visa work but this one is especially sweet. From skinny foreign student (Lindisfarne) to Hurricanes U20, Hawkes Bay Magpies and U20 World Cup & 6Nations representing France. World at his feet, standing tall. And maybe just maybe a future All Black. Awesome.

A France under-20 rugby star schooled in Hastings will spend pre-season with the Hurricanes amid reports he is eyeing a future in the black jersey.
