Goolma won the toss, elected to bat and would go on to set a target of 195.
Openers Jason Warner and Brian O'Riley got the innings off to an ideal start and had the score at 113 at the time the latter was removed for 63.
Warner went on to make 78 before he was the next to fall with 145 on the board.
Troy Kenny added a valuable 39 and a cameo by Andus Honeysett was good for another 15.
Eight bowlers rolled the arm over but all ended up being expensive, Greg Reid’s 2/35 saw the breakthrough of O'Riley, while Jamie Herbert claimed the scalp of Warner.
Opener Mark Gorrie was the top scorer in the run chase with 36, however no one stuck around at the crease and made enough runs as they were all out for 129 in reply.
Will Redfern’s 2/15 got the wickets falling, O’Riley took 1/21, Ashley Honeysett 1/23, Brad Honeysett 1/13.
In the other T20 match Centennial downed Gulgong RSL.
This was the first of five Twenty20 rounds spread throughout the season, which go to the overall points and won’t be held as a separate competition.
Twenty20 matches return on December 18 and that day will see two rounds (11 and 12) of shortened matches played on the one day, with morning and afternoon games.
Regular matches resume this weekend.
