Hurlers face hair-raising task in charity wax-athon

TWO of Waterford’s hurling greats could be facing their biggest challenge yet when they get relieved of their hair tonight in a wax-athon in aid of cancer sufferers.

Ken McGrath, who recently retired from the sport and his former team mate Tony Browne, will need to be told to “keep your hair on” as they are waxed at a fundraising event in The Kazbar on John Street in the city.

The event entitled Déise Boys Go Pink for Action Breast Cancer is the brainchild of local women, Michelle Whelan and Amber Young.
