The Eagles won via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
It was not a great match for the batters.
Otago seamer Mason Clarke accounted for three of the top five North East Valley batters.
He bowled Andrew Sheridan for three and removed Will Hamilton (3) and Hayden Johnston (0).
James Brown picked up three wickets as well, while Nikith Perera top-scored for North East Valley with 11.
Albion did not find batting any easier. They lost four quick wickets, but Joshua Olliver’s knock of 18 from 14 balls proved decisive in the rain-affected finale.
In the one-day tournament, Albion, North East Valley and Green Island all posted wins.

University-Grange looked on track for a much larger tally.
Dan Howie (32) and Vinay Chandrappa (37) put on 65 for the third wicket.

Green Island 274/9 beat Taieri 102

Gibson clubbed 18 fours and seven sixes during the onslaught and dragged his team through to an imposing 274 for nine.
The Swamprats had slumped to 44 for four and the innings was teetering before Gibson’s wonderful counter-attack.
Taieri seamers Toby Hart (three for 57) and Ben McCall (three for 55) made a dent in Green Island’s top order.
Taieri needed to start well with the bat, but it was Gibson’s day.
He removed aggressive opener Ruben Clinton for 14 and captured the crucial wickets of Jack Kelly (1) and Zac Cumming (3).
Taieri No 11 McCall top-scored for his side with an undefeated 24 from 21 deliveries.
But the chase had the stuffing knocked out of it during the opening exchanges. And Joel Meade and Mayank Malhotra grabbed two apiece to roll the lower order and help dismiss Taieri for 102 and record a 172-run win.
