Gerry McHugh Festival of Football — Saturday 6th June 2026
Notre Dame High School, Greenock is proud to host the annual Gerry McHugh Festival of Football — a day of competitive football, community spirit and fundraising in memory of a much-loved teacher.
About the Festival
The Festival takes place on Saturday 6th June 2026 at Notre Dame High School, Greenock. Teams from across Inverclyde and beyond are invited to enter and compete in our football tournament — a full day of matches, camaraderie and friendly competition, all played in honour of Mr Gerry McHugh.
The Festival is held in loving memory of Mr Gerry McHugh, the much-loved Principal Teacher of Mathematics at Notre Dame High School, whose warmth, humour and devotion to his pupils shaped a generation of young people in Inverclyde. Every aspect of the day — from the matches on the pitch to the raffle prizes — supports the Gerry McHugh Scholarship, helping pupils at Notre Dame continue the legacy of opportunity, encouragement and excellence that Mr McHugh gave so freely throughout his teaching career.
