However, fitness and class began to tell in the extra-time period and Darren Carter scored Blues opener on 98 minutes with a stunning volley from the edge of the box after Moor Green's defence failed to clear a Blues throw-in.
A good move five minutes later resulted in Blues doubling their lead courtesy of a Tony Capaldi goal. Craig Fagan made a darting run down the left channel and crossed for Peter Till who laid the ball back for Capaldi on the edge of the box and his low drive whistled past keeper Rachel.
The second period of extra-time ended goalless too with the only real chance falling to Moor Green - Marriott saving brilliantly from Stanley five minutes before the final whistle.
