The pair played in a number of deciders in the 1960s and 1970s and will resume that long-standing history in AWFA senior men’s cup final at Jelbart Park on Sunday.

Before last year’s triumph against Albury City, the Savoys had experienced a 43-year cup drought since their last crown in 1973 which, ironically, was against Cobram on penalties.

A win would cap off two big years for Cobram, adding to its league title success in its first AWFA season last year.

Roar president Michael Startari admits there has been a massive buzz around the town in readiness. 

“It’s been really good, especially because we’ve got seniors, reserves and under 18s all in finals,” he said.

“It’s the first time that’s happened since the 70s.”

Myrtleford president Zac Mirt admits there is a good relationship and plenty of respect between the two clubs.

“We’ve got a few older guys that were involved back then that are coming along on Sunday,” Mirt said
