Donncha O’Callaghan 

It’s not every day you get to teach a sports star a thing or two — but that’s exactly what a group of West Cork schoolboys did at the weekend.

When Munster rugby star Donncha O’Callaghan visited Clonakilty as part of a new RTÉ series, 10 young schoolboys not only gave up their Sunday to teach him the skills of orienteering, but did it all in front of a television crew.

The group, aged between 7 and 12, are pupils at the town’s Scoil na mBuachailli, which has not only won a string of prestigious orienteering awards at both national and county level in recent years but has produced two members of the Irish orienteering squad.
