Once again in the final game of the season, Sullivan played Methody in the King Cup. A trophy presented by Mr Kings friends in memory of his son who attended both Sullivan and Methody, representing both schools in hockey and tennis. In a competitive game Sullivan were in control of the game taking a 2 nil lead into half time. Sullivan relaxed in the second half and let Methody score, but within a minute they increased the pace of the game and scored a further goal to maintain the two goal gap. Methody scored a second and made the last few minutes tense until Sullivan scored a fourth. Final score Sullivan 4 (M Willis, M Morris (2) and P Crookshanks) v Methody 2 Thanks to all the team and best wishes to the boys who are finishing at Sullivan – Tom McCord, Michael McDougall, Tom Robson, Fergus Kerr, Callum Carson, Sonny Erskine and Fergus Gibson

On the 13 April 2018, 40 young rugby players from Sullivan embarked on a junior rugby tour to Leicester. The U13 and U14 Squads returned victorious as they were unbeaten against their oppositions, Bugbrooke RFC and South Leicester RFC with convincing victories in both games. The boys enjoyed submersion in a full weekend of rugby as on their day off they had a coaching session with Leicester Tigers coaches and then went on to their impressive stadium to watch the derby match between Leicester and Northampton. The coaches and players would like to thank Living with the Lions Tours for organising a fantastic tour, the two rugby clubs for their hospitality and the parents for making a tour like this possible. Well done to U13 player of the Tom Muldrew and U14 player of the tour Adam Martin. {gallery}leicester{/gallery}
