The young Brookers put 6-181 on the board after winning the toss and batting and defended gamely to advance to the grand final against TRYC next weekend.
Osborne’s top-order of Luke Richardson (29), Lachie Lane (28), Darren Howard (35) and Mick Glanvill (32) all made starts but were unable to push on as the run rate ballooned.
Hayden Wishart was the most successful bowler with three wickets.
It was another bitter finals pill to swallow for Osborne after it lost last year’s grand final.
TRYC won a tight semi-final against Henty by two wickets at Yerong Creek.
Set 140 for victory, the home side looked in trouble before Greg Jolliffe hit 29 down the order to get his side over the line.
Col Hagen made 20.
