Jonathon Crowe helped set up the comprehensive win with the bat in the first innings, posting an unbeaten 60 in his side's total of 7-212.
He was supported by several experienced campaigners including Brad Cady (21), James Mack (38) and Andy Mack (47).
Ash White then carried on the demolition job with the ball, claiming stunning figures of 7-2 as Albion cruised to victory.

Mark Ewington helped speed up the unbelievable result by taking 3-7 from the other end.
Pat Paul was Kookaburras best batsman for the innings, top scoring with 5.
Albion veteran James Mack described White's efforts as a "breakthrough performance".
"Ash White had it on a string early," Mack told the Namoi Valley Independent.
"Then when Brad [Cady] put a couple of extra grippers in and tightened a few guys up in the field, he went even better.
"He just bowled to the field perfectly and was supported really well by Ewo [Ewington].
"It was definitely his best figures in firsts, but I'd say his career at a guess.
"Plus, he took a hat-trick, which was really exciting."
Despite not getting much of a crack with the ball, Mack said Crowe's efforts with the bat should not be understated.
"Our top order really batted well and then Jono Crow batted brilliantly to take the score past 200," he said.
"It was great for us and particularly Jono himself.
"In fairness to Kookaburras, they were missing Cameron Milne and Mat Agostino, plus they had gone through a long day in the field.
"Still, I didn't think that was going to happen."
In the round's other match, Court House made light work of Mornington at Kitchener Park.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Mornington were left in a spin by Sam Doubleday as he went on to claim 5-22.
Henry Johns (10) and Ben Hennessy (23) tried valiantly to keep their team in the contest, but were unable avoid the side being dismissed for 60 in the 26th over.
Court House looked shaky at 1-2 in reply, but Oscar King (15) and Jay Urquhart (19) helped steady the ship.
Regular wickets fell from there, but Court House reeled in the total with five wickets in hand at the end of the 14th over.
Mornington will look to bounce back this week in their clash with Kookaburras, while Albion and Court House will lock horns in a top-of-the-table clash at Kitchener Park.
