"It's awesome. The girls played really well," said Coolum captain Sammy Franks. "It'll be nice to send Kez off. This is her last season. So a Grand Final at home, hopefully we can win that one. And give her a good send off."

Hinterland are through to the premiership decider after a Caloundra forfeit. The effective week off for her side's Grand Final opponent doesn't concern Franks.

"I think, you know, we fielded really well," she said. "We've got a solid bowling line-up. So I think we'll bring it to them. Absolutely. Yeah, hopefully we can hit a few more boundaries and get some more runs on the board because that'll be needed to defend their big score."
