Two brothers are really making a name for themselves during Euro 2020 by becoming RTE’s youngest football presenters.
Jack (13) and Harry Tompkins (10), from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, are hosting their own show, Two Halves, for younger fans of the beautiful game — and are going down a treat during the big tournament.
Two Halves is a brand new soccer radio show and podcast being aired on RTEjr Radio during the Euros.
Jack and Harry have been busy chatting to a host of sporting heroes and getting their thoughts on the how Euro 2020 is looking each week.
The final episode will be a really special one, with former Ireland international player and manager and legendary pundit John Giles sharing his thoughts on the tournament.
The two lads are passionate about soccer — they both play for Shamrock Rovers AFC in Enniscorthy, Jack at U14s and Harry at U11s.
The brothers are also both life-long Tottenham Hotspur fans — possibly influenced by their dad, Shea.
They’ve travelled numerous times to see Spurs in action — they went to Wembley to witness Harry Kane score the winner in a North London Derby and have been over to the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since it opened.
Harry’s bedroom is a shrine to Spurs and he saves his pocket money from his Saturday chores to buy Match Atax trading cards and Match of The Day football magazine.
Jack is looking forward to scheduling his summer holidays around watching football matches.
And his mam Karen can’t complain — it is research for this young sports presenter after all.
