The home team meets East Albury in Saturday's semi-final.
Ironically, the club's previous appearance was also against the Crows in the 2007-08 preliminary final.
East hammered Albury by 215 runs and went on to claim the premiership against Tallangatta.
Crows' batsman Alex Popko played in that flag and he's now a crucial figure in Albury's charge.
Jerim Hayes played in St Patrick's 2010-11 grand final win over Lavington, while Kade Brown is a two-time premiership winner at North Albury (2005-06 and 2008-09).

"Basically just enjoy it, enjoy the challenge," Brown said when quizzed what he might tell his team-mates.
"The standard raises and it's a lot more intense.
"At the end of the day there's no point getting all anxious and stressed about it."
