Q: Sunshine Coast Scorchers v University of Queensland in the 1996 Coco Cola One Day Final - 30 year match report
Just making the 50-over Coca-Cola Cup final in their debut season was a miracle for the Sunshine Coast Scorchers. The beach boys were still finding their way in Brisbane, facing Australian and Queensland players instead of farmers, spanners and bogans on the country circuit.
On a clear, nervy day in Wynnum a collection of enthusiastic amateurs – except for our two top-order legends – faced a University outfit dripping with representative bling. Sure, they had soon-to-be Test players Michael Kasprowicz and Martin Love,

Q: Joshua Matthews - I love the competition
Joshua Matthews made his first grade debut for the Sunshine Coast Scorchers during the 2017/18 season.
An opening batsman with one first grade hundred to date, let’s find out some more about Josh's cricketing journey.
I grew up in Hervey Bay, played senior cricket for the Caveliers up there when I was pretty young and then moved down to the Sunny Coast when I was 15 to play for the Nambour Cutters. Moved to the Scorchers when I was 18 and have played there since. Greatest achievement would be making my 1st grade debut for the Scorchers.
