Johnstone Burgh boss Jamie McKim paid tribute to his players for keeping the ball on the deck despite the rain lashing in their faces.
With the conditions turning biblical at Keanie Park on Saturday, McKim feared his side might revert to long ball tactics as so many teams do when the weather turns sour.
But Burgh held firm to their desire to keep playing progressive, passing football, with Jojo Gillespie, Brian Connor and Kieran Brophy all netting to fire their side into the third round of the South Challenge Cup.
