The Rockingham Flames women have won their fourth NBL1 West championship, beating the Cockburn Cougars 97-81 at RAC Arena.

The Flames were three points down in the dying stages of the grand final match before they managed to shoot 19 straight points in the final minutes, sealing the win.

Rockingham captain Alex Sharp was named grand final MVP with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

It was a well deserved victory for the Flames who finished on top of the ladder at the end of the regular season.

They will now go on to face Bendigo in the NBL1 National Finals in Queensland this weekend.
