HULL VENUE CHOSEN FOR YORKSHIRE JETS IN EUROPE’S PREMIER NETBALL LEAGUE

Bonus Arena to host Yorkshire Jets’ home games in Phase 1 of Fiat Netball Superleague Season

 

After having their status confirmed as one of eight Fiat Netball Superleague Franchises, Yorkshire Jets are pleased to announce that their first three home games will be at the Bonus Arena in Hull.

The FIAT Netball Superleague combines the finest players in the UK along with international stars, forming 8 Superleague franchises from England and Wales and the Yorkshire Jets are Yorkshire’s only franchise.

 

First up for Yorkshire Jets at home are the reigning Fiat Netball Superleague champions Mavericks, followed by Northumbria which is the selected Sky Sports game for that round and then finally Jets will host local East Midland rivals Loughborough Lightning in their penultimate game of Phase 1.

 

Yorkshire Jets’ first three home games are as follows:

 

27th January – Yorkshire Jets vs Hertfordshire Mavericks

6th February – Yorkshire Jets vs Team Northumbria

24th February – Yorkshire Jets vs Loughborough Lightning

 

In preseason the Jets have received a massive boost with Rachel Shaw being selected for the Senior England squad tour to Australia and New Zealand - the first Jets player ever to receive such an accolade. Natalie Haythornthwaite and Lauren Potter have also received a lift after being asked to train with the England Seniors due to their impressive performances on the recent U21s tour in Jamaica. With quality young England girls in the side and a new name, Yorkshire Jets will be striving to stake their claim for one of four play-off spots.
