Magpies dominated the Manjimup Netball Association pool 1 competition on Monday night, downing Vixens by a whopping 28 goals.

It was evident from the outset there was no stopping the undefeated side, with the Magpies easily securing a 13-goal lead going into the second quarter.

Another quarter of incredible shooting accuracy and efficient midcourt passing stretched their lead further to 33-11 when the half-time whistle sounded.
