In the third match in the group Sullivan travelled to Lisburn to face Wallace High School. These two schools have faced each other in finals in the last few seasons, so a tight match was anticipated. The game was dominated by the defence of both teams, Wallace made goalkeeper Fraser Todd make a couple of excellent saves one after the other. With both teams pushing Wallace broke down the right and a hard cross was met at the back post with Wallace taking the lead. Halftime Sullivan 0 v Wallace High School 1 The second half saw Sullivan push and win some penalty corners but these could not be converted. Wallace didn’t have too many shots in the second half. The game ended one nil. Final Score – Sullivan 0 v Wallace High 1 The next matches will be played after half term against Royal & Prior (Raphoe) and Banbridge Academy

Sullivan Fencing: 2019 Irish Intermediate Fencing Championships Five Sullivan fencers travelled to University College Dublin on Sunday 6 October 2019 to compete in the Irish Intermediate Championships, the first event for them in the Irish 2019/20 fencing season. In the women’s foil event Izzy Evans fought her way through to the quarter finals, winning a tough last 16 fight 15:14 on her way to finish 8th, just outside the medals. Angharad King and Rachel McKillen finished 15th and 16th. In the men’s foil Alexander Penny and Keir Murray finished 17th and 25th.

Sullivan played their first two matches of the McCullough Cup over the last two Saturdays. Sullivan v Cookstown High In a slow starting game, Sullivan took the lead with Patrick Rose scoring a reverse stick shot into the roof of the net. This was then followed up by Daniel Girvin scoring a second. Half-time Sullivan 2 (Rose & Girvin) v Cookstown 0 Cookstown pushed on in the second half and Sullivan just couldn’t ‘get going’, Cookstown scored a goal, still Sullivan found it hard to get a grip on the game. With the last play of the game Cookstown were awarded a Penalty Corner, but this was defended well. Final Score Sullivan 2 (Rose & Girvin) v Cookstown 1 Sullivan v Campbell College This game started much better than last weeks game. Sullivan played well with Campbell happy to let Sullivan have the ball in their own half and Campbell defended from the halfway line. This made it difficult for Sullivan to break into the Campbell area to even take a shot. Sullivan took a halftime lead through goals from Djay Erskine and Harry Yarr. Halftime Sullivan 2 (Erskine & Yarr) v Campbell College 0 The second half start with Campbell pushing high against the Sullivan defence. This initially made it difficult for Sullivan, but once they settled into Campbell’s new approach Sullivan used the open space to score a handful of second half goals – with goals from Daniel Girvin, Jack Crossan, Tom McClintock (2) and Jonny Crookshanks Final Score Sullivan 7 (Erskine, Yarr, Girvin, Crossan, McClintock (2) & Crookshanks) Campbell College 0 Sullivan next face Wallace High School in the McCullough Cup

After an early wake up, a long drive to Dublin and the 2-hour flight to Berlin, the group of 40 Sullivan pupils and teachers finally stepped out of Berlin Tegel airport and the 2019 Year 11 History trip had begun. Our first stop after leaving the airport was Potsdam for a quick lunch break before heading on to the Wannsee Conference Centre where the idea of The Final Solution was thought of. After some time in Wannsee to look around the exhibition, our group then travelled to the Olympic Stadium. We were able climb up the Bell Tower and saw fantastic views of Berlin. Following dinner at our Hotel, next was a visit to a German Air Raid bunker to learn what it would be like staying there for hours at a time. Our first evening ended at the Reichstag which provided more Panoramic night time views of Berlin. On the Saturday morning we headed to the Stasi Museum and then to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp which had a powerful effect. Despite there being only a few buildings and much open land and you could imagine the horrific events that happened there during the war. That evening we went to an Escape Room, which all the group thought was amazing, and one of the highlights of the trip. Then it was on to a Greek restaurant for dinner that night. Sunday was a busy day, with visits to the Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust Memorial, the Topography of Terror, including a section of the Berlin wall outside, Jewish Museum, as well as the Panorama Die Mauer, showing what Germany looked like between 1961 and 1989. Later that evening, there was some competitive bowling. On the final day in Berlin, before catching our flight, the group did a bicycle tour of Berlin, which was very interesting and another highlight of the trip. Last of all, we finished off with some shopping in the centre of Berlin. The pupils would like to thank Mr Armstrong for organising the trip and Miss Morgan, Mr Stevenson and Miss Jordan for their help running the trip. {gallery}BerlinHistoryTrip1{/gallery}
