A goal from Helio de Freitas was only enough to earn the boys from La Hague extra time and the easterners ran out 3-1 winners with a double from Mark Harris and a single from Paul Devenish securing them a spot in the first-round proper.
Another inter-divisional preliminary tie resulted in a victory for the big boys – and how.
St Paul’s destroyed Sporting Academics 14-0, with Muratti striker Craig Leitch helping himself to eight.
Jean-Paul Martyn (two), Craig Russell, Paul McGuinness, Jordan Docherty and youngster Marcus Carlow added the rest to Saints’ total.
