This year 2016 Leon Vaughan(Captain) and Pauric Neely, Danny Mathew and a young 5th year student Patrick Curran were looking for honours again.
The 20 regional finalists met in NUI Galway in the All Ireland Final and after a titanic struggle with CBS Cork in which the 2 Colleges were level on 6 occasions it was the Cork boys who edged out the Eunan’s boys.
However, it was a great performance at such a high level with the questions based on the Leaving Certificate Project Mathematics Curriculum and winning the silver medal against the top secondary schools in the country both public and private.
At the presentation Dr. Ray Ryan, Head of Mathematical Sciences of NUI Galway congratulated the St. Eunan’s College and CBS Cork on their mathematical skills and the efforts of their teachers in achieving this high standard of Mathematics.
