The closest Olympic had come to beating the Eagles this season was all the way back in round 3 when they managed a 2-2 draw at Jack McLaughlan Oval.

 

However Edgeworth now have it all to do if they're to progress to the league's showpiece event, and will need to win by four clear goals at home this Saturday if they're to do so in normal time.

 

Peter Juchniewicz opened the rout for Olympic before Matt Austin and substitute Hakan Canli added their names to the score sheet before full time.

 

In the second semi-final Valentine Phoenix look favourites to progress after they drew 2-2 with Broadmeadow Magic at Wanderers Oval.

 

Nathan Goncalves opened the scoring for the visitors before Ben Martin and Josh Piddington strikes swung the tie in Magic's favour.

 

Nearing full time Clayton Poole struck a fine equaliser to put Phoenix in the box seat for a place in the final.

 

Magic may rue the loss of captain John Bennis in this week's second leg at Cahill Oval, the pivotal midfielder seeing red to leave Coach Peter McGuiness with a selection dilemma ahead of the crucial tie.
