[17] The Argus reported on 16 March 1935 that the club had indeed folded,[18] but would later state on 24 April 1939 that Savoy had fielded a junior team.

[20] Following the commencement of World War II, authorities sent Italian immigrants to internment camps without trial[5] that ultimately led to the club's dissolving.

[21] Along with immigrants were Italian prisoners of war, one of which included army chaplain Father Agostino Galanti who had a passion for association football (soccer).

Father Galanti had befriended former Savoy secretary Rino Fontana prior no later than 1948, and established a new club for the local Italian community.

Fontana successfully hidden Savoy's training equipment and playing kits following internment and these assets were given to the new entity.
