Hidden gem set to finally burst into the limelight

THE OLD Rustic Bridge By The Mill is one of Ireland’s lesser-known beautiful ballads; the location in question is also one of Ireland’s lesser-known beauty spots.

Spanning the trout-rich Awbeg, it's on the Fermoy road at the bottom of Castletownroche.

Also less known in an Allstar-riddled Cork forward line-up that trounced Kerry in the first round of the Munster SHC a couple of weeks ago is one Jonathon O'Callaghan, a native of the scenic North Cork village.
