The Rosellas, who won last year's District League title to gain promotion into the IPL, secured a convincing 3-1 win over Albion Park White Eagles in a Bert Bampton Cup quarter-final at Elizabeth Park on Saturday.
Ryan Hunter, Grant Zanni and Liam Unicomb all scored for Bellambi, who now progress to the Cup's semi finals.
They will be joined by Bulli and Cringila after they both recorded big victories on Saturday afternoon.
Ben McDonald and Luke Van Zyl each scored doubles to guide Bulli to a 6-0 victory over Helensburgh Thistle at Rex Jackson Park. Meanwhile, a hat-trick from Tobias Norval inspired the Lions to a comfortable 4-1 win against the Woonona Sharks at Ocean Park.
There is one Bampton Cup quarter-final left to be played to confirm the competition's final eight. Wollongong United will tackle Coniston on July 28 at Macedonia Park.
