Welcome to Week 32 of The Buzz Newsletter!

It’s Week 32 of The Buzz Newsletter, & we hope you had a wonderful weekend! Starting the week off strong, lets congratulate our 3 speed-cubing competitors: 4th year William Carey & 6th years Namun Natsagdorj & Prabhav Rajaram Nayak for their achievements. Speed-cubing is a competitive sport where the aim is to solve a Rubik’s cube as fast as possible. There are multiple variations of puzzles held at the official World Cube association (WCA). The 3 of them have gathered over 70+ podiums each and have been competing since 2019, having great success in the past few months.

Namuun Natsagdorj:

  • Won overall female of the 3×3 champion at the Irish championships
  • Achieved a 2.88 National record single for “clock”

Another congratulations is in order to 5th year Genevieve Morrisey & 4th year Aisling Lawlor, who have both been selected for the U19 Irish Cricket Team. The girls have been training 4 times per week & going to camps in preparation for tours this summer, & for the U19 world cup in January of 2027. It takes a lot of dedication, commitment and motivation to compete at this level, & we wish them the best of luck in their upcoming cricket competitions this summer!

As our 4th year term comes to it’s end, we’ve been overwhelmed with a massive amount of achievements this year- too many to capture fully in time for this Buzz, but all deserving the utmost recognition and congratulations.

  • Katie Zheng who’s essay made it to the final of the Grainne O’Neil Legal essay competition & who’s science project won 1st in the John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition 2026, now meaning that Kate is eligible to enter the European Statistics Poster Competition.

We hope all of the above are as proud of their achievements as we are, and enjoy your graduation this Friday!
