The Melbourne Vixens have taken out the first Super Netball crosstown derby against the expansion Melbourne Mavericks with a 68-61 victory at John Cain Arena.
The Vixens gained separation after quarter-time on Sunday and connected at a red-hot 88 per cent to claim bragging rights against the debuting Mavericks, formed last September to take the place of Collingwood, who handed back their licence following the 2023 season.
