Hard-working Bradford Maroons finally overcame Manchester Magic II 88-78 thanks to a late surge in a see-saw encounter.

The win enabled the Maroons to leapfrog above their opponents to seventh place in EBL Division Three North.

It also made up for last season when visiting Manchester pinched victory with a three-pointer in the last second.

This weekend Bradford are away to Liverpool.
