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.
