LANGWARRIN midfielder Callum Goulding joined leading NPL1 club Bentleigh Greens last week.
It is the second time the former Melbourne Victory player has left Lawton Park having joined Box Hill United partway through the 2018 season.
Goulding rejoined Langy under Scott Miller for the 2019 season and while there was much angst over his initial departure this time he went with the club’s blessing.
“Callum has always expressed his desire to test himself at NPL1 level and the opportunity has presented itself at Bentleigh Greens,” was Miller’s matter-of-fact response.

THE 40-day reign of Tommy McShane as senior coach of Rosebud ended abruptly last week.
Club president John Grbac confirmed on social media on Friday that McShane had been “stood down”.
“I won’t crucify the guy because he’s a good mate of mine,” Grbac said.
“We’ve come to an agreement and he understands that.
“It was a trial thing really and Tommy was new to it anyway.
“He thinks it’s better for the club too because if he’s not getting the respect from the players then it’s time to move on.

Second Wallace Cup for Langy

SOCCER
LANGWARRIN’s pre-season preparations went according to plan last Saturday at Monterey Reserve when it won back-to-back Wallace Cups.
As fate would have it Langy’s 1-0 win over Mornington in the final came thanks to Sammy Orritt who was brought here by the Dallas Brooks boys back in 2017.
He’d scored a belter earlier in the tournament, a fiercely-struck volley that rocketed into the net and the decider in the final was a deftly curled shot into the far corner from the left of the box.
Mornington took a young squad to the annual tournament with most of its high-profile players either injured or rested and the slick interpassing on show bodes well for the future.
