The Haven still went down to Port Panthers Pirates in a tight, rain-affected match at Stuart Park.
Morris's 105 at the top of the order helped the second-grade Haven to a handy 216, given the damp conditions.
Scott Selway chipped in with 43 and Luke Woodhouse made 22.
Pirates chased the total down with four wickets in hand as more rain constantly threatened.
Opener Shuvra Bose also top-scored for Pirates, making 59.
Bose bowled Morris earlier in the day, but Morris got his revenge, disturbing Bose's castle.
Rob McColl's 43 was Pirates' next best, followed by Jamie Byrnes' 38.
Adam Broderick (20) and Glenn Kemp (5) were the not out batsmen when the Pirates triumphed.
The Pirates didn't fare too well in their third-grade contest with Wauchope RSL on Saturday.
The Pirates Billhooks were on the end of a bowling masterclass from Matthew Guthrie.
He took 5-13 from 7.2 overs to destroy Pirates for just 46.
Pirates were chasing RSL's total of 189 at Lank Bain Complex.
Young all-rounder Luke Rogers (26) was the only Pirate to offer any form of resistance. Everyone else failed to make double figures.
RSL's bowling figures looked pretty good, too.
Along with Guthrie's michelle, Andrew Hamilton took 2-5 from four overs and Bailey Smith 2-16 from eight.
There were plenty of half-centuries from lower-grade batsmen. Ross Field (89) and Casey Luke (85) scored plenty for the Pirates Mutineers against Camden Haven.
Mathew Gardner (Comboyne), Trevor Hart (Bonny Hills), Steve Young (Pirates), Peter Doble (Magpies), Scott Moulds (Bonny Hills) and Gavin Carney (Wauchope RSL) were also in the runs.
