A touch of tartan and a lot to celebrate 🥂 last week’s ILT Excellence Awards brought a Highlands Hooley theme as we recognised standout performance across the group.

Big congratulations to The Langlands for taking out the Supreme Award, and to our category winners: Brew'd, Newfield - The Friendly Tavern, Ashford Motor Lodge, The Speight's Ale House, Collingwood Super Liquor The Southland Sports Bar and Ascot Park Hotel

A great night recognising the people and teams whose hard work and consistency make a real difference for our community 🙌🫶https://ilt.co.nz/ilt-excellence-awards-recognise-consistent-performance-across-the-group/

Great to have King Kapisi (Bill) in town 🙌🫶

Before hitting the stage at The Shack this Saturday for a free show, he’s been spending time with local rangatahi at Mīharo — sharing his journey, experiences, and real insights. We’re proud to bring a great event to the community while creating opportunities for our young people to connect and be inspired. Thanks Miharo Murihiku for helping us make this happen!

CLUB OF THE YEAR! 🦈🏆

We are unbelievably honored to be named the 2026 Sal’s NBL Club of the Year!

This award isn’t just about what happens on the court; it recognizes the hard work, passion, and standard of excellence set by our entire organization, staff, volunteers, and sponsors day in and day out.

And to our incredible Sharks Whānau and the best fans in the league: this one is for you.

Thank you for making stadium energy unmatched and for repping orange with us all season long.

We’re just getting started. FINS UP! 🧡🦈

So great to celebrate Lucy Cooper and Rachel Rees, ILT Scholarship recipients who competed at the Australian Gymnastic Championships from 18–20 July. Ange Newell was lucky enough to catch them in action before they headed over to Australia. Ka pai on flying the NZ flag high and doing Southland proud.

It’s awesome to see our scholarship support helping talented Southlanders get to events like this and show what they can do on a bigger stage 🙌🫶

Creativity, connection, and a few hours to simply switch off.

Freshly approved for ILT funding again, we’re proud to continue supporting CanBead Southland and the impact they’re making across Southland.

This year, 329 people took part in workshops, 87.5% for the first time! From MS Society to Hospice, Youthline and more, these workshops are reaching right across our community!

The Shark Tank is looking sharp ahead of the last home game of the regular season 🦈🏀 As proud funders, we’ve loved seeing action like this all season. Let’s get behind the Sharks tomorrow and fill ILT Stadium Southland!

What a season from the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel 🩷💙

Friday night’s gala dinner was a great chance to celebrate the journey with the team and wider netball whānau. While the final didn’t go our way, the heart, grit and pride this group showed all season was something special. Ka mau te wehi!
