THE division 1 Savoy men showed their class on Sunday, with a comprehensive 8–1 victory over Wodonga Diamonds, setting the stage for their FA Cup semi–final clash tonight against Albury United.

Myrtleford had control of the match for the vast majority of play, executing to near–perfection with a range of players sending the ball past the goalie.

Jack Milford and Connor Caponecchia found the back of the net twice each, while James Purcell, Nagus Henry, Kaden Saric and Paul Mazambi also got on the board.

Coach Rob Caponecchia said the scoreline helped put to ease some lingering doubts from previous matches.

"It was a really pleasing result – considering what we did last week (4–2 loss to Albury City), I thought maybe the confidence would've been a little bit dented, but to their credit they came out with real purpose and real intensity," he said.

"Once we scored that first goal, we just dominated the whole match after that.

"There was a little period in there where they had a few shots on goal but it wasn't too serious or too dangerous.

"The most pleasing thing was we played like a team on Sunday, everyone contributed, everyone played their role really well."

A change up to their starting structure helped deliver the flurry of goals, and may be the missing ingredient which tips the balance in the Savoy's favour in tonight's FA Cup semi–final clash with Albury United.

"We did change the formation a little bit, we tried something different and that seemed to work OK," Caponecchia said.

"Normally we play a 4–2–3–1, but this time we changed it to a 4–4–2 and that gave us a little bit more of an avenue onto goal, which we thought we were lacking.

"We discussed it at Thursday night training, and on Sunday we implemented it – we felt it worked really well.

"It's going to be a really good challenge – I think the boys are going to be up for it because there's a bit of prize money at stake if you get into the final and it also gives us a chance to see if we can win some silverware.

"If we win this game we're into the final against Wangaratta, it's anyone's game. "

The division one women enjoyed the bye on Sunday, and with a league–wide bye this coming Sunday, won't be back in action until they front up against Albury United on June 26.
