The Gwent club had already knocked Cardiff out by 3-0 in an earlier round but this time they left it until injury-time before defeating gallant Corus of Division Two West.
The lead had changed hands four times with Corus leading 17-16, when Brynmawr ran the ball out from their own line and wing Richard Dennington scored at the other end for a 23-17 victory.
Cross Keys stunned holders Llanelli by leading 31-0 at the interval and ran out 38-14 winners. Keys will now be hoping for a fourth successive home draw in the quarter-finals.
Caerphilly led North Wales club Llangefni 37-7 at the break, but the minnows would not lie down and played excellent rugby to score three tries, though the Cheeesemen scored eight themselves in a 54-21 win.
Bridgend disposed of Blackwood by 53-15 and a 9-0 try-count as the vistors landed five penalty goals, while Aberavon defeated Bonymaen 25-16 in a match where the losers ran in two late tries.
In an all-Premier clash Pontypridd gained a good 22-11 win at Bedwas with the home side’s only try coming from former Pontypridd Youth wing Stefan Sankala. Neath also went through, but struggled to win 15-5 at Whitland with the Welsh All-Blacks tries coming from former Bonymaen forwards Steve Phillips and Andy Llewellyn.
Ebbw Vale were due to meet Swansea next Saturday at Eugene Cross Park in a league match, but instead will now meet in the cup.
