Shoot-Out runs the rule over every team's performance this season (names in order of ladder positions):

Woonona: Talk about timing your run perfectly. After narrowly missing finals in 2019, the Sharks were superb on their way to being crowned league champions. Fell one goal short of a fairytale finish in the big dance.

Wollongong United: Were expected to stand up this year - and they delivered. Fell agonisingly short of claiming the trophy clean sweep (only one goal denied them the league championship). Finished on a high by winning the 2020 premiership.

Bulli: Looked like potential champions in August, but faltered as the season progressed. They would be disappointed with their straight sets' finals exit.

Tarrawanna: Back-to-back finals appearances for the young Blueys, who continue to impress under Peter Willis's guidance. Were pipped on penalties by Albion Park in the semi finals.

Albion Park: Had an unsettled start, losing their coach just days before round one. Struggled early, but were arguably the most in-form team in back end of 2020. Were edged out by a late goal in the preliminary final.

Olympic: Many predicted the 2019 league champions to go back-to-back, but Olympic never truly got going this season. While they would be gutted to miss finals, George Antoniou was able to blood plenty of youth.

Bellambi: The Rosellas started in red-hot form after gaining promotion, only losing one of their first seven matches. Faded late in the season, but will benefit from this year's IPL exposure.

Corrimal: The reigning premiers were struggling before the season had even begun, losing several players due to the financial impact of COVID. The Rangers never truly fired a shot in 2020.

Cringila: Battled for most of the year, only picking up their first win in round nine. Showed promising signs under interim coach Paul Michlmayr, winning two out of their last three games.

Coniston: Was the surprise packet in the Frat Cup, reaching the final. Won in the opening IPL round, but would only taste one more victory in 2020. However, they were involved in more draws than defeats this year.

Port Kembla: Similar to Park, the Zebras also lost their coach ahead of round one. Picked up their first win in round four, and would get only one more for the season - but showed increasing resilience as the IPL went on.

South Coast United: Greg Valic's men struggled all season, but were probably better than their final ladder position suggests. Can use injuries as an excuse. Will be keen to bounce back quickly.
