On the 15 November 2011 at the National Badminton Centre Lisburn, Victoria Ringland and Ben McMechan represented Sullivan Upper at the Champion of Champions Badminton Tournament. This includes all the number one players from all badminton playing schools in the province. Victoria was the winner of the Senior Girls singles event. This is the first time a Sullivan pupil has won this major tournament. Ben won his way through to the final of the Junior Boys beating a top Irish player, Ryan Stewart to win his section. In the final he met Ryan Getty another top Irish player from Wallace High School. After a very good game he went down 21-13, 21-18. This was an excellent effort and will help them both in their quest to represent Ulster and Ireland this year. Congratulations to both of them!
