Just eight days after winning their first ever NBL1 West championship, the Rockingham Flames are now the national champions after taking out the Frankston Blues 85-74 in Melbourne on Sunday.

The three-day National Finals tournament between Australia’s best NBL1 teams saw the Flames win their first two clashes over the South Adelaide Panthers and the Hobart Chargers, booking themselves a spot in Sunday’s championship game.

Rockingham proved too good for Frankston eventually winning by 11-points.

The victory came despite the Flames missing NBL1 West MVP Devondrick Walker who has since signed with the Brisbane Bullets and four-time NBL championship winner Greg Hire.

Captain Ryan Godfrey’s 23-points, five rebounds and three assists earnt him Championship Game MVP.
