Laharum was a cut above in B Grade, restricting Lubeck-Murtoa to a sub-par total before skipper Dan Griffiths eased his team to glory.
The Mountain Men chose to bowl first, allowing Mal Adams (2-10) and Damien Bunworth (2-12) to tear through their opponents.
Contributions from Corey Chenoweth (15) and Shannon Reddie (12) pushed Lubeck-Murtoa to 80.
Griffiths (36*) starred at the top, his knock earning him man of the match honours.
Late runs from Damien Bunworth (25*) helped Laharum reach the target in the 19th over.
Earlier in the day, Quantong held its nerve in a tense affair to claim C Grade's top honours.
Colts were asked to bowl first and struggled to boundaries that had been brought in by nearly 15 metres for the occasion.
Jeremy Newell (4-14) impressed, though Peter Brand (31) and Timothy Brand (30) guided Quantong to 9-147.
MAKING NEWS:
Dean Arnott (47*) led the response, but failed to find any partners willing to stay with him.
Bailey McQueen (3-27) cleaned up the lower order to ensure Quantong snuck home by six runs.
