Evanne Ni Chuilinn has emerged as the early favourite to fill the Sunday Game hotseat vacated by Des Cahill.
It emerged yesterday that Cahill will no longer be presenting the flagship Sunday evening highlights show after 15 seasons as he reverts to the live radio broadcast on Sunday Sport alongside his Saturday Sport gig - and several names are being bandied about for one of the most prestigious roles in Irish sports broadcasting.
Kilkenny native Ni Chuilinn has been installed as the 10/11 favourite by Paddy Power. She has worked on Gaelic games extensively for the national broadcaster in the past but has found a niche by fronting the coverage of less mainstream sports, such as rowing, in more recent years.
