Nagus Henry and Matt Park found the back of the net in the first half, as did Cobram’s Bill Puckett.
No more goals would be scored for the game as the Savoys defence held up after the break for a telling win.
Co-coach Jayden Vescio said the victory would inspire some confidence as the finals approach.
“It was a good result for us, I thought we played particularly well in the first half,” he said.
“We probably had a few chances to put them away in the first half that we didn’t quite take.
“But our defence in the second half was really good.
“There’s some good feeling around the club, we’ve won against Cobram and United in successive weeks.
