Flames women headed to SBL grand final

The all-season dominance of the Rockingham Flames women's team has continued with the girls set to take on Lakeside Lightning in Friday night's SBL grand final.

To set the top tier clash in stone the Rockingham Flames beat the Kalamunda Eastern Suns 84-64 at Mike Barnett Sports Complex and the Lakeside Lightning defeated the Joondalup Wolves 79-66 at Lakeside Recreation Centre in the two women's semifinal matches on Friday night.

It means both of last year's grand finalists in the women's SBL have been bundled out in two games in the semifinals, while the two standout teams from 2014 will meet in the grand final at the WA Basketball Centre.

The Flames only lost two games throughout the entire regular season and are now into the grand final without dropping a game in the playoffs, after Friday's 20-point win over last year's runner-up Kalamunda.

The Eastern Suns went into half-time with a three-point advantage, but the Flames turned it on in the second half, scoring 47 points and keeping the Suns to just 24 to score the victory.

Samantha Whitcomb again led the way for the Flames with 24 points, 15 rebounds, nine assists and three steals, while Darcee Garbin was also terrific offensively with 23 points.

Talisia Bourne contributed 14 points off the bench and 3-of-5 from three-point territory.

Jacinta Bourne also added seven points and 12 rebounds and Tarsha Fletcher had nine points, five rebounds and four assists.
