Dapto Dandaloo's dream of capturing all four pieces of silverware is on the line when they meet defending champions Wollongong United in the Bert Bampton Cup final on Sunday.
Having already picked up the Fraternity Cup, the Fury have given themselves every chance of running a monopoly on the competition's trophy cabinet in 2015.
They lead the Illawarra Premier League and are all-but assured of playing finals football this campaign.
The Bert Bampton Cup, however, is the next trophy on their bucket list.
To snatch it they'll have to overcome a United outfit who has given them more problems than most this campaign.
The pair have split two regular season matches in the Illawarra Premier League and Fury keeper Mitchell Blowes is expecting another tense encounter in the decider.
"I think they have challenged us for a number of years. They have improved massively and really moved forward as a club," he said.
"They are a major player now in Premier League year after year, so it will be a big game.
"The key for us will be to be mentally strong.
"We are experienced in finals.
"We have been in five or six of the last seven grand finals, so if the boys take that experience and knowledge into the game we should be OK."
Blowes pinpointed Japanese trio Daisuke Yuzawa, Kota Kawase and Motoki Kinjo as one of the key threats to his side's chances.
"I think the Japanese guys are dangerous across the league, even in the state league, because they are an unknown quantity. They are obviously quality," he said.
"The Asian players are technically sound, so I am sure they will have some surprises for us come Sunday."
The Fury are not without threats of their own.
They captured the signature of two-time George Naylor medallist Robbie Shields midway through the season, who played with United in 2013 and 2014.
His talent will come as no surprise to United.
"Obviously, Robbie played with us last year, so we know what he can do," United's Daniel Chapman said.
"We know the danger of guys like Sam Munro and what a few of their other attackers can do. And even the experience of their defence ... but we are confident that we have the players who can do similar quality things in games.
"There will be threats all over the field," he said.
United lifted the Cup a season ago with a hard fought 1-0 win over Port Kembla and Chapman says the Reds are keen to keep the trophy locked away in their cabinet.
Both sides will have to play just 24 hours after their round 18 clashes in the Illawarra Premier League, with United meeting Woonona while the Fury host Bellambi on Saturday.
In other matches, Wollongong Olympic play Albion Park, Bulli travel to Tarrawanna and South Coast United meet Shell Cove.
