2017 Vitality Netball Superleague ready to launch!

The brand new Vitality Netball Superleague gets underway this evening in Hatfield as Hertfordshire Mavericks take on Team Northumbria.

The 2011 Champions, under the guidance of head coach Robyn Broughton, welcome the team from the north-east hoping to replicate the large win they secured last season at the Hertfordshire Sports Village.

Northumbria have been dealt an early blow as pre-season import Katarina Cooper is unavailable for Friday night’s clash, with Victoria Burgess coming into the squad.

A triple header follows on Saturday with a derby clash between Celtic Dragons and Team Bath starting at 4pm.

The action comes to a close tomorrow with last year’s champions Surrey Storm hosting debutants Severn Stars in Guildford.
