Girls Hockey:

3rd XI Gibson Cup:

Congratulations to the 3rd XI for getting to the semi-final of the McDowell Cup. The girls faced Ballyclare High in very cold, wet conditions just before half term. They went 1-0 up very early in the game but Ballyclare came back strongly and equalised in the first half and grew in confidence in the 3rd quarter, but Sullivan defended valiantly. Sullivan dominated the last quarter and came so close to scoring that all decisive goal but unfortunately were denied so the match had to be decided on a series of run-ins. Ballyclare eventually emerged as winners but the girls can be extremely proud of their determined and competitive performance and they certainly showed what a very strong 3rd XI team they have become over the season.



Year 8’s:

The year 8’s attended the Annual Grosvenor Grammar Tournament and played some good hockey coming away with draws with MCB, Down High, Antrim Grammar and a fine 3-0 win over Wellington College.



U14 Junior Shield:

The U14’s faced Victoria College in the semi-final of the Junior Shield. The match was very competitive with Sullivan dominating most of the play, making the stronger start and being very unlucky not to capitalise on a few good chances in the first half. They continued to dominate possession in the 2nd half but unfortunately Victoria were the team who capitalised on a quick break and scored in the far corner of the net. Sullivan did not give up and kept fighting to the final whistle but unfortunately could not get that all important goal they so deserved. A tough end to a great game dominated by Sullivan. Huge commiserations girls.



1st XI Senior Shield:

Massive commiserations to the 1sts after loosing out 3-2 to BRA in the semi-final of the Senior Shield. It was an exceptionally competitive, entertaining, end to end match. BRA took the lead but Sullivan equalised with an amazing individual goal from Lucy A. Both teams had chances denied until BRA eventually edged ahead 2-1 in the 4th quarter and quite quickly doubled their lead. Sullivan continued to put on the pressure and Hannah L finished off a well worked attacking move up the right hand side to make it 3-2. Despite throwing everything at it in the dying minutes, Sullivan were unable to capitalise on any final attacks and BRA remained strong to the end. An excellent display of school girl hockey. Well done girls and commiserations on an excellent performance.



Leavers:

This super bunch played their last matches for Sullivan. Thank-you so much for all your commitment, dedication, hard work and fun over the last seven years. Great role models, great memories. All the best for the next chapter….we’ll miss you.
