Caloundra has won the Sunshine Coast, Australia cricket premiership after the grand final was drawn. Caloundra batted first, setting Glasshouse 212 to win outright.

"We had alot to lose and they had alot to gain," Caloundra captain Rod Gibbs said.

Back in January Caloundra defeated Glasshouse in the limited overs final.

"It was a great game of cricket. Three days, 40 wickets (sic) and in the end two runs decided it," said Gibbs.
