Team Northumbria take on Hertfordshire Mavericks - live on Sky Sports on Monday evening - as the Vitality Superleague season gets into full swing.

Northumbria finished bottom of the eight-team league last season and were beaten by star-studded Manchester Thunder in coach Te Aroha Keenan's first game in charge of the side at the 'Super Saturday' event in Birmingham last week.

The Mavericks eased past the Celtic Dragons in their opener and will be looking to make it two consecutive wins when they travel to Northumbria University's Sport Central - and you can watch the action live on Sky Sports 3 HD from 7.30pm.

Head Coach Sam Bird told the official Mavericks website: "It's always a tough challenge travelling to Northumbria and we need to remain focused on our goals for the match. The players have to recover quickly from Saturday nights match and be ready to perform at their best again on Monday."

Captain Layla Guscoth said: "I'm really happy after today's performance  - for where we are at this stage of the season and the way we fought during that game, I thought it was really impressive. It takes time to develop a new team but I am really happy with how it is coming together, I see real progress and know we can build on that for the rest of the season."

On Saturday, Manchester Thunder beat Celtic Dragons 72-52 while the Mavericks won the first of two games in three days when they saw off Loughborough Lightning 48-44.
