Two popular Kilkenny hurling supporters to feature in RTE programme

The 'Waterboys' starring Jim Rohan and Gary Comerford will be screened in living rooms across Co Kilkenny and beyond next week.

The show documenting the lives of two inspirational GAA men will be shown on RTÉ2 on Monday, August 19 at 11.40pm and will be available on the RTÉ Player to view worldwide for the rest of the month.

Jim and Gary, two well-known and much-loved Kilkenny characters made their on-stage debut in 2019, performing in the same show at the Watergate Theatre to widespread acclaim.

Away from the stage, the two men are hurling fanatics and are Carrickshock's most loyal supporters. A support acknowledged by the South Kilkenny club last December when the newly opened community walking track in the area was named 'The Waterboys Mile'.

The pair have a double life. They are actors by day but by night they are The Water Boys for Carrickshock hurling team.

As kids they dreamed of raising an All-Ireland hurling trophy in Croke Park. Their bodies may have prevented them from playing for their club, but nothing will stop these striped crusaders from being part of their team.

The Waterboys is an extraordinary, real-life story about learning to walk, learning to fall and learning to follow your dreams.

Jim and Gary would also love your support in raising funds for their beloved club Carrickshock by buying a ticket for the club's upcoming development fundraiser draw. - CLICK HERE FOR MORE
