In a game of of two halves, it was Wollongong who triumphed over Port Kembla 3-1 to jump into the Top 5. After being down 1-0 halftime at Macedonia Park, home fans were fearing a loss until a Save Treneski header opened up a wonderful 20 minute attacking spell, with Port unable to find their feet back into the game.

Wollongong United FC got off to an ideal start to the 2010 season away to Dapto FC, winning the game 4-1. Two goals in the opening 15 mins to United set the tone of the game, as the away side continued to put on attacking pressure throughout the game, with Dapto trying to break through.

Dapto played a decent stanza mid-way through the 2nd half, when they were down 3-1, yet the game was over after Jacob Miller made it 4 for United.

Wollongong United FC will begin holding a number of trial matches against some quality opposition from the Sydney & Newcasle regions, prior to the 2010 IFA Season.

Youth Grade, coached by last year's coach Orrie Jovanov, will play the 1st match of the trials. The team has re-signed the majority of last year's players, who finished the 2009 season strongly to break into the playoffs. A couple of promising young players were also newly signed to the team. The experience gained from the younger players will prove valuable to a successful 2010.

First Grade, coached by the experienced veteran John Fleming, have retained a number of key players from last year, plus adding several additions in the form of youthful and energetic players. The aim is to get off to a solid start and prove to be a finals contender.

The team has begun pre-season training on Tuesdays & Thursdays, and will welcome all fans to come and see them play in the pre-season trial matches.

The majority of these games will be held at their home ground - Macedonia Park, Hooka Creek Road, Berkeley.
