The New Zealand Long Blacks and Xtreme Drivers League

                                               Building a Legacy Beyond Sport

The New Zealand Long Blacks and Xtreme Drivers League (XDL) is more than just a sports league – it's a movement, focused on creating a lasting legacy. At the heart of XDL's mission is the commitment to doing good while promoting the champions of the league. "Being on the tee for a cause is absolutely important," says Olna Ford, the founder and owner of the New Zealand Long Blacks and Xtreme Drivers League.

The season has kicked off with a bang, as the first regional championship was hosted by the incredible team at Hawera Golf Club. In a true display of community spirit, trophies and medals for the junior athletes were generously provided by Hurrells, adding a special touch to the event. XDL is deeply grateful for the ongoing support of its amazing sponsors, whose contributions are vital to the league's growth and success. Every second of time and every gift received is appreciated. Local businesses like Textiles Alive have gone above and beyond, supplying poles for team banners just in time for the charity drive. Meanwhile, Fruit Guys has been a loyal supporter of XDL's junior division since 2016, and recently sponsored the day rate for 2024 New Zealand Long Black and North Island Masters Champion, Andrew Storm.

As XDL continues to grow, it’s clear that the league is about more than just sport – it’s about community, giving back, and celebrating the champions who help build a brighter future for everyone involved.
