The visitors broke the deadlock on 33 minutes when Donnelly powered a shot through Redditch’s debutant goalkeeper Callum Smith from inside the box.
And the Yeltz doubled their lead on 47 minutes as Manning’s corner from the right bounced in the box and nestled in the top left corner.
Halesowen sealed their place in the next round four minutes later when Ponticelli fired a shot into the roof of the net from 10-yards out.
