Surrey Storm target repeat win over Team Northumbria in Superleague
Monday 14 March 2016 19:18, UK
Surrey Storm will be seeking a repeat victory over Team Northumbria in Monday's match in the Vitality Netball Superleague, live on Sky Sports.
The Storm claimed a convincing 57-35 win when the two teams met in the second week of the season, but Team Northumbria have shown encouraging signs in recent weeks.
Manchester Thunder were made to work for a 65-51 victory over Team Northumbria on Saturday and Tearoha Keenan's side have claimed wins over Loughborough Lightning and Yorkshire Jets.
Surrey responded well to their 'London Live' loss to Hertfordshire Mavericks, claiming a 54-42 win over Team Bath at the weekend.
Team Northumbria's veteran shooter Lynsey Armitage is expecting a closer encounter when the two teams meet again this week.
"They have played together for a long time. They are a tight team," Armitage told Sky Sports. "There attack is very fluid and the defence are nice and strong.
"Since we played them a few weeks ago, we've come on as a team. Our confidence is building and we're playing a lot better, so hopefully we can contest a lot harder against them."
Watch Team Northumbria take on Surrey Storm, live on Sky Sports 2 from 7.30pm on Monday. Or watch for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.
