Seagulls maintain NPL push Share
SOCCER
MORNINGTON stayed in the hunt for a berth in next season’s prestigious NPL competition after Saturday’s 2-0 away win over Casey Comets.
The Seagulls proved too strong with a goal in each half.
A Milos Lujic header in the 34th minute put the visitors ahead and the second goal came from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute after Kane Bentley was fouled.
Josh Hine had no problem converting.
Many pundits believe that Mornington hasn’t played to its potential this year despite continuing its title tilt.
After the match head coach Adam Jamieson acknowledged that the ladder leader had room for improvement.

ROSEBUD player-coach Mark Pagliarulo was over-the-moon when he clinched the signing of Ash Scholes last week.
“Pags” had been chasing the 27-year-old’s signature for some time and was close to signing him a few months ago.
“I tried to get him at the beginning of the season but he wanted to stay loyal to Somerville but recently we spoke and he wasn’t enjoying it there so decided to come down,” Pagliarulo said on Friday.
