After a disastrous start to the week winning only one of four games, Albany retrieved some pride by thrashing Bruce Rock by 160 runs at Charles Veryard Oval in North Perth.

Albany posted 331 thanks to a sensational opening stand between captain Craig Tonkin and his deputy, Andrew Hagnhofer.

The pair added 142 to put Albany on track, with Hagnhofer first man out for a well-compiled 67.

Tonkin went on to bat for the majority of the innings before being caught for 168.

Chad Hitchcock (28) also got amongst the runs.

Bruce Rock were never really in the hunt and consistently lost wickets to be dismissed for 171 in reply.

Dylan Morgan capped off a good week claiming four wickets, while Matt Clothier grabbed three.

Albany went into the game after being soundly beaten on Thursday.

The powerful Bunbury side batted first and made 9/249 with youngster Julian Crudelli the pick of the bowlers in taking 4/48.

After a positive start with Hagnhofer making 30, Albany collapsed and had lost six wickets before registering 100.

Crudelli again stood up making 58, but his effort was not enough as Albany fell 76 runs short of the target.

Bunbury went on to take out the A-Section final defeating Williams in the last over to win by three wickets.

Albany’s number two team finished the week in second place in Division Two after winning three out of their five games.

Tim Pyle (86) and Russell Hare (68) led on Thursday when they posted 8/300 against Wyalkatchem.

Terry Eaton then took five wickets to see his side home.

On Friday, Nick Parry made 63 as Albany Two finished on 9/235 before bowling Kalgoorlie out for just 110.

Danny Paine and Eaton did all of the damage, taking five wickets apiece.

The Albany number three team also won three games in D-Section.

The highlights were blazing centuries from Ben McKenzie (132) and Daniel Macomish (101) in the final game on Friday.
