With rain threatening, the Dalby openers wasted no time in ensuring victory and knocked off the required runs without loss in only 20 overs to clinch promotion.
Harrison (76 not out) and Wells (57 not out) showed the bowlers no mercy, finishing off with 16 overs to spare.
It has been an exceptionally good year for the small village club whose midweek Burrough League team also joined their clubmates in finishing in the top two.
