The Sunday Game presenter, Jacqui Hurley said: Working on The Sunday Game was a childhood dream of mine. It's an absolute privilege to take on such an iconic role and follow in the footsteps of some incredible broadcasters. I look forward to the challenge and can't wait to get started.
The Saturday Game presenter, Damian Lawlor said: The new GAA fixture calendar has meant more intercounty games than ever within a condensed period. This has given RT Sport an opportunity to introduce The Saturday Game. Along with our production team, I will do everything I can to ensure the programme develops into an unmissable, flagship show that delivers the best insight and analysis for our viewers.
Declan McBennett, RT Group Head of Sport, said: This season marks a reigniting of The Sunday Game with fresh off the pitch panellists alongside seasoned experts, in moves that are consistent with the evolution of The Sunday Game throughout the years. New presenters Jacqui, Damian and the new panellists are hugely experienced and perfectly placed to bring all of the excitement and analysis of the GAA Championship to our audience later this year.
On air since 1979, The Sunday Game is shown every Sunday night during Championship season on RT 2.
