The Miners were impressive in a nine-point victory over Eltham on Saturday night 75-66, shooting the final nine points of the match, when scores were locked at 66-all with under three minutes on the clock.
Then on Sunday, the Miners flew out of the blocks with a 31-point first term, but struggled in the middle-two quarters as opponents Kilsyth made a run at them.
But on the back of a 31-point game from Chloe Bibby, the Miners steadied in the last quarter, winning the term 25-16 to record an impressive 88-74 win.
