Des Cahill has announced that he is to step away from The Sunday Game.
The presenter has been on the RTE flagship Sunday night GAA programme for 15 seasons. He is now set to take up the hot seat on both Saturday Sport and Sunday Sport on RTE Radio 1.
"The reason I want a change is very straightforward - I want to go to live games again," he said in a statement. "It's been a privilege to host The Sunday Game for the past 15 seasons, but I miss the sense of fun and anticipation as you make your way to a match, the feeling of tension and excitement, the roar of the crowd.

"I can't wait to experience that again when I'm fronting Saturday Sport and Sunday Sport live from some of the most iconic venues in the country."
He continued: "I'm hugely grateful and in debt to the fantastic team on The Sunday Game, who work so hard to bring the programme to air every week throughout the Championship.
"I've no doubt that their passion and commitment to deliver for the audience will continue in the seasons ahead with a new presenter in the hot seat."
Joanne Cantwell will continue to anchor The Sunday Game Live. Meanwhile the new presenter of The Sunday Game will be announced in 2023.
