Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic are hoping to continue the winning ways when the team play their first home game against the Northern Mystics on Saturday.

Magic coach Julie Fitzgerald says the team can't wait to finally play at home at Claudelands Arena at 4pm.

"We're delighted to be playing at home in Hamilton. We just love that arena, we love the crowd there and we love the atmosphere - we're very excited to be back home again."

The side had their first win of the season beating the Tactix 58-57 in round seven of the ANZ Championship at the Nelson's Trafalgar Centre yesterday.

Tickets for Saturday's match are available at Ticketek.

Meanwhile, Mainland Tactix coach Sue Hawkins is demanding answers from her players after blowing an eight-goal second quarter advantage against the Magic.

Sue is furious her side let the Magic back into the match after holding a 30-22 lead midway through the second term.

She is also angered by a penalty to mid-courter Hayley Saunders on their final possession, who was pinged for not having two feet in the circle at the centre pass.

Hawkins and assistant coach Marianne Delaney-Hoshek spoke with the umpires following the match after reviewing the footage themselves.

She says there is no way the result would be changed, but feels her side has been hard done by.

"She's fully in the circle. We've got the footage. We can question them and talk to them about it, but the bottom line is we ran out of time and unfortunately we should never have let that slip away."

Former Tactix shooter Jo Harten landed a goal with 17 seconds left to lead the Magic to a come from behind win.

The Tactix almost blew a hefty advantage against the Pulse a fortnight ago and allowed the Magic back into the game.

Sue is frustrated they are not consolidating when they are in front.

"Eight goals up, why aren't we kicking on? That will be the question I'm asking the girls.

"We should never have allowed it. We need to push on when we need to."

Magic 58 Tactix 57
