Sky Live: Northumbria v Jets We preview Monday nights action Both sides are still searching for their first victory of the campaign ahead of Monday nights match, live on Sky Sports.Lightfoot has been absent since Super Saturday with a broken finger, which means she cannot face Team Northumbria, and the Jets defender watched Saturdays 51-38 defeat by Hertfordshire Mavericks from the sidelines. But she believes Yorkshires new-look squad are showing signs of improvement. Fiji shooter Maria Lutua is also part of Yorkshires much changed squad Lightfoot told Sky Sports: So far the results weve had arent what we would have wanted, but from a positive note, from my perspective Im seeing the girls put in more consistent performances over longer periods.But obviously I want to be a part of that and help, which is very frustrating.Team Northumbria were beaten 58-28 by Team Bath on Friday night, leaving them bottom of the table, and Lightfoot believes the upcoming fixture is important for both sides.Weve both had difficult starts. I dont think any of the games this year are easy games. Team Northumbria can climb off the foot of the table with a win We came up against a full strength Loughborough first game of the season, the reigning champions Surrey, and Bath who always have a good squad.Its been a tough draw but the squad is improving and the challenges weve had to face will put us in good stead for the game on Monday.England defender Stacey Francis was one of Yorkshires pre-season and Lightfoot believes her skipper can lead the Jets to a confidence-boosting result. Stacey Francis joined the Jets from Team Bath We have got belief, we know weve got talented players, but we need to have that belief as a unit now, and put that good squad performance out over a 60-minute game.If we can do that on Monday, Im quite confident we can come away with some much needed points and get our season going. Netball London Live Surrey Storm v Hertfordshire Mavericks with Sky Tickets We have got the personnel, weve got the talent, Weve got Stacey Francis as our captain now and she is really leading by example, setting really high standards for myself and the other girls.Weve got England youth coming through, experienced players coming back.
