Banking Group ANZ To Sponsor New Zealand's Netball Elite League For Three Years

ANZ and Netball New Zealand announced that ANZ will continue its commitment to the advancement of netball as a sponsor of New Zealand’s new ANZ Netball Elite League for the next three years. ANZ has been a principal sponsor of the ANZ Championship for its nine years of competition since '08. The new ANZ Netball Elite League will replace the ANZ Championship in New Zealand from next season. ANZ also supports local netball communities through the ANZ Grant Scheme, through which it has awarded over A$500,000 ($378,000) in grants over the past five years. More than 500 clubs and school teams across New Zealand have benefited. The new competition will see teams play 15 round robin games, including Super Sundays featuring all six teams in action at the same venue, before culminating in a two-game Finals Series with the top three. All games will be broadcast live on Sky and played on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays (ANZ).
