Coming up against arch-rivals Court House in Saturday's grand final, Albion proved too strong, running away with a comfortable six-wicket victory.
The reigning premiers won the toss at Kitchener Park and asked Court House to bat first, which proved to be a masterstroke as Court House lost their first wicket with only 21 runs on the board.

From there, Andrew Osmond (2-10), Nate Vernon (2-18) and Russell Baker (4-25) ran through the middle and lower order to dismiss Court House for 117.
Brodie Waterford (36 not out) proved to be Court House's best with the bat.
In reply, Albion's top order wasted no time chasing the target, as Richard Webb (23) and Hudson Dries (26 not out) got their side into a winning position.
Baker then picked up with the bat where he had left off with the ball and scored a patient 22 to get his side home.
Jye Hicks (2-17) and Jaycob Price (1-21) tried manfully with the ball, but were unable to prevent Albion from walking away with a six-wicket win.
