Then in the corresponding men’s clash, the Magic were on track for at the third win of the season leading Rockingham by as much as 15 points and still by 12 with two minutes remaining.

But it wasn’t to be with the Flames storming home to win 80-77.

Will McNeill again was the star, delivering another 36 points.

Saturday night was back at Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre with the Magic women scoring another impressive win, beating the Cockburn Cougars 79-59 to improve to a 14-1 record and remain solid in second position behind the undefeated Perry Lakes Hawks.

Mandurah’s men couldn’t quite back up its impressive Friday night performance with the defending champion Cougars coming away with the 90-75 victory.

The Magic were without both Taylor Mullenax and Ricky Kreklow which made life difficult, but Tom Remmerswaal did all he could to fill the void with 18 points.

It’s another double-header for the Magic this weekend too and both are at Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre.

It starts on Saturday night against the Lakeside Lightning and then the Willetton Tigers on Sunday.
