Harp and Crown Credit Union proudly supported the PSNI Boxing Club, Red Triangle ABC as they set about raising funds for chosen charity Williams Syndrome Buddies NI.
The Halloween Bash – A Knockout Night at Newforge!
Red Triangle ABC brought boxing, community spirit and charity together for a spectacular evening at Newforge Sports Complex, Belfast, on Saturday 24 October 2026.
With over 250 spectators in attendance, the Halloween Bash exhibition boxing event proved to be a tremendous success. Hosted by Red Triangle ABC, a boxing club incorporating serving police and prison officers, the evening welcomed boxers from clubs across Northern Ireland. Beyond the excitement of the contests, the event showcased the power of sport to bring people together, bridge community divides, forge friendships and build lasting relationships, all while promoting physical fitness, mental wellbeing and mutual respect.
An incredible £1,000 was raised for Williams Syndrome Buddies NI, a charity particularly close to the hearts of those involved with Red Triangle ABC. Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition that can affect an individual's development, learning, physical health and everyday life. Williams Syndrome Buddies NI provides invaluable support to individuals living with the condition and their families, helping to create friendships, raise awareness, share experiences and build a supportive community where no family feels alone. The money raised will help support the charity's important work and reflects the generosity of everyone who attended, participated in or supported the event.
The success of the Halloween Bash would not have been possible without the generosity and support of its sponsors. Red Triangle ABC would like to extend a particularly heartfelt thank you to Harp and Crown Credit Union, whose generous sponsorship played a vital role in making the evening possible. Sincere thanks must also go to G4S and Newforge Sports Complex for their valued support and contribution towards the success of the event.
"Thanks to Harp and Crown Credit Union for their sponsorship which helped towards The Halloween Bash, enabling us to raise funds for Williams Syndrome Buddies."
- Stephen H, Red Triangle Boxer
All the boxers at Red Triangle ABC would also like to express their sincere gratitude to Head Coach Colin Tumelty, not only for his tireless efforts in organising and delivering such a successful event, but for his unwavering commitment, dedication and support to the club and its boxers on a daily basis. Colin's passion for boxing, his encouragement and the countless hours he devotes to developing those around him are greatly appreciated by everyone at the club. His hard work, both inside and outside the ring, is instrumental in making Red Triangle ABC the welcoming, supportive and successful club it is today.
The Halloween Bash was far more than simply a night of boxing. It was a celebration of community, inclusion, friendship and the positive impact sport can have in bringing people from all walks of life together. A fantastic night for Red Triangle ABC, a tremendous achievement for everyone involved, and proof that boxing really can deliver so much more than punches!
