The Young side beat out the Cootamundra Titans in an absolute thriller playing in cold windy conditions at Clarke Oval in Cootamundra.
Gayzer's captain Josh Cameron won the toss and decided to have a bat.
Openers Billy Lamb and Josh Cameron got the side off to a cautious start through some very tight bowling.
Good running between the wickets kept the scoreboard kicking over enabling Billy Lamb who batted brilliantly to retire on 12.
Gayzer's lost their first wicket with the score on 40 when Josh departed for a hard earned 10 runs.
Harry Dymock and Will Rowan have both been standouts all year with bat and ball and had some good runs and great shot selections on Saturday had them both retire with Harry on 22 and Will on 12 putting Gayzer's in a strong position.
Runs started to dry up a bit through some tight bowling at the death and Indigo Heard was next to go with a gutsy 5 with the score now 2/92.
Nate Reid scored a valuable 9 runs before he was bowled.
Noah Coble and Ella Cross both scored a determined 3 runs each to take the score to 3/106 off their 30 overs.
Gayzer's bowlers were exceptional, constantly putting pressure on the batters with some tight line and length bowling which enabled Gayzer's to constantly pick up wickets.
Harry 1/11, Nate 1/12, Will 2/11, Billy 2/19,Indigo 1/18,Noah 1/13 and Ella 0/12 bowled brilliantly.
The bowlers were extremely well supported by wicket keeper Josh Cameron who made some great field placements during the game and especially in the last pressure overs.
The game went right down to the wire with Cootamundra needing 27 runs to win and Gayzer's needing 1 wicket while Coota had their star batters at the crease.
With 2 overs remaining Coota only required 11 runs.
Will Rowan was bowling as Coota wittled the runs away with 2 off the first ball, followed by 2 singles.
Coota only required 7 runs with champion batter Corey Gale already on 49 you could feel the momentum build towards the home team.
Just before you had time to blink Will Rowan knocked the bails flying as the ball smashed into top of middle much to the delight of the Gayzer's players and supporters.
Will Rowan was awarded player of the match and some well earned Kookaburra pads and Harry Dymock received the match ball.
Congratulations to Josh Cameron for being Gayzer's Most Valuable Player and Indigo Heard for receiving the Coaches award.
A great result to compliment a great season, congratulations to all of you on a terrific season.
Many thanks to Felicity Lamb who scored each week, to the parents who helped coach and Dean Guthrie for giving up his precious time to umpire the grand final.
