Gympie defeated Maroochydore by three runs on Tuesday in the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association Twenty20 cricket final at Caloundra, Australia.

The Gold XI won the toss and batted first. They scored 86 runs from 18.3 overs with Lewis Waugh top scoring with 46 off 41 deliveries. Adam Thornton was the pick of the bowlers taking three wickets while conceding only 13 runs.

Maroochydore's innings got of to a rocky start with both Thornton and Kevin Schulze being dismissed for zero in the early overs of the innings.

Maroochydore didn't go down without a fight, needing only three runs off the last over of their innings. But a victory for them was not to be, losing the last wicket off the second ball of that over.
