Staff, pupils, Chaplain Fr Clarke and governors had the opportunity to lift the much-coveted All-Ireland GAA trophy during its visit to the Portadown school.
In a statement, the college added: “The presence of Barry McCambridge and Oisin Conarty (both of whom have been nominated for awards) made the occasion even more special.”
College pupils also brought the cup into the nearby residential nursing home where “there was much excitement from residents and staff there also”.
Here’s a selection of Tony Hendron’s photos from the event.
