2nd-half surge sparks Abington

ABINGTON » Abington’s coaches stress playing strong in the minutes immediately after the Ghosts score a goal.

After Liam Hartman gave Abington a lead in the first minute of the season-opener against Upper Dublin Tuesday night, the Cardinals bounced back and Sean Seabrook tied the game 68 seconds later.

When the Ghosts broke the one-all tie less than 90 seconds into the second half, they kept their foot on the gas. Arsene Bado gave Abington the lead and threeand-a-half minutes later Steven Fajardo found the back of the net and the Ghosts were on their way to a 3-1 Suburban One League Liberty Division win at Abington Senior High School.

“After we let up the first goal we just were down on ourselves,” senior captain Gavin O’Neill said. “We come out in the second half and we were lighting it up. We were a little more hyped, I guess.”
