11th Mar 2025

HCB had a superb afternoon today celebrating with our former pupil and current staff member – Joe ‘The Goal’ Gormely after his winning goal for Cliftonville FC in the BetMcClean Cup Final last Sunday at Windsor Park.

Thank you to our staff member, DJ Brendy, who played some of Joe’s favourite tunes in the school hall and ensured an amazing atmosphere for all the boys and staff.

Thank you to Joe (who was as humble as ever) and continues to inspire the boys as he danced, sang along and stood for photos with everyone.

The boys absolutely loved it.
