As we go to press the Abington boys varsity soccer team has qualified for the state tournament and has a chance to catch up with Norwell, Carver and Cohasset in the competitive South Shore League standings.

We recently had an opportunity to speak with head coach John McGinness (fourth year as varsity coach) about the success of his team. “I’m very excited and pleased with their performance.,” said McGinness.

They play well on the field and support each other in the class room

McGinness had to replace nine roster spots from last year’s team to fill out this year’s squad. He worked with the existing junior varsity team to pull players up to the varsity level. Their work has paid off in the form of the most successful season of boys soccer since Abington’s last tournament appearance in 2001.
