Hertfordshire Mavericks will target top spot in the Vitality Netball Superleague when they face the struggling Yorkshire Jets on Monday night.

The Mavericks endured frustration on Saturday when their top-of-the table clash with the Manchester Thunder was postponed after the first quarter due to a wet court.

Hertfordshire remained tied on 27 points with Thunder, but can steal a march on the Manchester side if they defeat the bottom-placed Jets, live on Sky Sports.

Anna Carter's side are still searching for their first point of the season after 11 games and they suffered a 50-45 defeat to Team Northumbria at the weekend.
