Both clubs announced this week they had received approval by Football South Coast to join forces for the 2015 season. 

The move comes after Dapto-Dandaloo opted to part-ways with their roots at the Dandaloo Sports Ground at the conclusion of their title double winning campaign.

They were on the lookout for a new venue before choosing to merge to become Kemblawarra-Dapto Fury or offically the Kemblawarra Fury.

Kemblawarra finished second last in the District League last season, but will move up a division as part of the new entity.

“It works for both parties,” Morgan said.

“We approached them in with regards to an opportunity to play at their ground and with the way they have been travelling in the first division, doing it tough at the bottom of the table, it worked as well. We started talking about merging and it became a good idea. The rest is history.”

Kemblawarra president Julio Neto agreed the merger was beneficial for both clubs.

“It will help make the competition interesting,” he said.

“Our club have quite a bit of history there so hopefully we can bring back some those memories."

Kemblawarra is a club built on a rich Portuguese background, while the Fury have become the biggest club in Illawarra football in recent times.

Morgan is certain the history of both clubs will play a role in the new era. 

“We are both carrying our history and our heritage,” he said.

“They have heritage there through their Portuguese background.

“Merging them together can hopefully invigorate football through the community, with major links to the Dapto community as well.”

The newly merged club will continue to train at Dapto’s Lakelands Oval and play home matches out of Albert Butler Memorial Park.
