Bonus Arena to host Yorkshire Jets’ home games in Phase 1 of Fiat Netball Super League Season
After having their status confirmed as one of eight Fiat Netball Super League Franchises, Yorkshire Jets are pleased to announce that their first three home games will be at the Bonus Arena in Hull.
The FIAT Netball Super League combines the finest players in the UK along with international stars, forming 8 Super League franchises from England and Wales and the Yorkshire Jets are Yorkshire’s only franchise.
England Netball announced the fixtures for the FNSL last week and within days the Yorkshire Jets were quick to secure the Bonus Arena as the venue for all their home games in the first phase of competition.
First up for Yorkshire Jets at home are the reigning Fiat Netball Super League 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 has also received a lift after being asked to train with the England Seniors due to her impressive performance at the recent trials. 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.
