Edgeworth made it to the round of 32 for the sixth time, beating Olympic 1-0 at Darling Street Oval with a 22nd minute goal from Ryan Feutz off a ball from fellow New Zealander Seth Clark. The combination scored three goals between them in Edgeworth's 4-0 win over Olympic on May 25 in the NPL.
Unbeaten NPL leaders and defending champions Jaffas defeated Broadmeadow 2-1 at Magic Park in the other round seven Northern NSW qualifier.
Bailey Wells set up Jayden Stewardson in the 25th minute to give Broadmeadow the lead. The hosts had other great chances to score, including Stewardson hitting the woodwork in the 37th minute, but they were unable to get a second goal.
Bailey Newton equalised off a cross from Scott Pettit in the 78th minute. Pettit then provided the free kick for Pat Bond to head home the winner in the second minute of injury time.
It is just the second time Jaffas have made the national stage in the knockout. Their other appearance was a 1-0 loss in Devonport in 2016.
Broadmeadow, who are a point behind Jaffas in the league, remain the most successful NNSW club in qualifying, making the round of 32 seven times.
