Eamon Towey acknowledges that being part of the only St. Nathy’s team to win the All-Ireland Colleges’ B title represented the launchpad for his intercounty career. That success allowed the class of 2000 to join the illustrious 1957 team that had won the Hogan Cup in the annals of St. Nathy’s folklore. The history books show that 1968 was a red-letter year for the school — the year St. Nathy's captured Connacht A crowns at senior, junior and juvenile levels. An epic Connacht final success against Garbally College, Ballinasloe (now Clonfert College) in Dr. Hyde Park was typical of the strides Nathy’s made to achieve their success. St. Nathy's success in 2000 kickstarted a Roscommon career for St. Croan's defender, Eamon Towey.
