Three Illawarra clubs - Balgownie, Dapto and University - knocked out South Coast opponents in round two.

They join premiers Corrimal, Wollongong and Helensburgh in the third round.

Lake Illawarra is the lone South Coast club to qualify for the last 32 of the tournament after beating Keira in round two.

In the all-Illawarra clashes Bally host Dapto and the Burgh are at home to University, with the two winners also to meet in the fourth round.
