Albury charged out to a 39-0 lead to take down the second-placed side a fortnight out from finals.
Coach Paul Musarra was impressed with the performance.
"If we didn't win today we were in a tough position, but we turned it on," Musarra said. "We've been building a little bit each week and things paid off."

Sam Allen led the way from the back, scoring a hat-trick in the win.
Liam Krautz also impressed, scoring a double, while .
Musarra is looking for another strong performance when they face Waratahs in the final round of the season.
