The trio defeated the Urana team of Stefan Smith, Mick Dunnett and Tony Cantwell, 45-12, in a heat-interrupted final.
The game started two weeks ago and North Albury bolted from the blocks for a 13-0 lead after six ends, which set up the win.
Urana got one shot on the seventh end, but it was 26-1 after the leaders collected a five on the 12th end.
Then Urana got a further seven shots over the next three ends to make the margin 26-8 when play ceased through the heat rule after 15 ends.
Both teams returned to Howlong on Sunday morning in drizzly, overcast conditions to finish the necessary 10 ends.
