The club failed to field a top team last year, due to a player shortage, but is more than holding its own.
"We're building pretty much a brand new team, but it's been really impressive," Curran said.
"The boys are buying into what (co-coach) Aaron (Williams) and I are coaching, we couldn't be happier and the good thing is we'll only get better."
The Wanderers posted a 1-all draw in Sunday's away clash to Wangaratta City.
The visitors' Shane Hasler opened the scoring midway through the first half and when Wangaratta lost a player to a red card on half-time, Twin City had the opportunity to pounce.
"We dominated the first half, I think we just tried to rush it in the second half," Curran declared.
"It was one of those days where we just couldn't score, we could have had seven or eight (goals), but you have to give them their dues, they worked hard."
Wangaratta's Mason Taylor levelled the scores midway through the second stanza as the home team held on for a gritty draw.
Striker Josh Zito was excellent for the Wanderers, Tom Morrison was superb at centre midfield, Hasler impressed on a wing, while goalkeeper Talisan Wilson was terrific.
Twin City now has two wins, two losses, a draw and a bye.
