Batting after Coolum, Hinterland scored 98 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.
Coolum captain Sammy Franks said: "The girls played so well today. 181 with the bat, that's pretty solid [...] We knew we had to put a lot of runs on the board. Aiming for 140, 150. But yeah. 181, that was wonderful."
Two senior Coolum players, Kerry Cowling and Paula McKie, retired after the match.
Franks continued, "It was great to win. Give Kezza and Paula a final farewell. Yeah, Paula is retiring as well. It was a little bit of a secret. She's moving on to bigger and better things. We'll miss her. She was obviously vice captain, and cricket brain and always there for me.
"Kerry's done so much for the club. All the little things that didn't get seen. Cleaning the toilets, bringing the sausages, just organising the whole team, all of the admin stuff and just being there like a cricket mum to us," she said.
