Magic, who had lost 2-1 to Olympic and Jaffas, were clinical against newcomers Cooks Hill in a comprehensive 4-1 win at Magic Park on Sunday.
Unbeaten Azzurri backed up their 3-1 win over Olympic in round three with another 3-1 victory against Lambton at Allen Davis Field on Sunday to be top of the table with seven points after three rounds.
Sam Donnellan gave Magic a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute, when he headed into the net after a corner, but the score was locked at 1-1 at the break after Daniel Yaxley equalised from close range in the 42nd.
The hosts regained the lead through Damon Green in the 51st. Jacob Dowse made it 3-1 from the penalty spot in the 66th then Bailey Wells added another in the 75th.
Riley Smith (7th), Nigel Boogaard (58th) and Regan Lundy (63rd) all scored for Azzurri before Jaffas pegged one back through Reece Papas in the 73rd.
