You could have the craic, a bit of a laugh. The amount of talented people involved, cutting these games – which isn’t an easy job – is huge. Everybody’s trying hard to make it the best programme it can be.

Molloy’s Off The Ball colleague Ger Gilroy is another experienced presenter with sound GAA credentials.

If a reminder of the place The Sunday Game holds in the GAA public's consciousness is required, then rewind back to the theme tune controversy of 2004.

It is in that climate that the show undergoes a fundamental makeover. In what is another reminder of the public interest in the role, one bookmaker released odds on who will replace Cahill. Joanne Cantwell will continue to host the Sunday Game Live with the new highlights show host to be announced next year. The show’s great strength is the sense of ownership many feel towards it. For the show’s producers, there is no way to win. O’Rourke is now the Meath boss and one of the oldest first-time intercounty managers in the GAA. It is that same sense of public ownership that still drives the conversation around the programme, its analysts and hosts. The amount of talented people involved, cutting these games – which isn’t an easy job – is huge. And now Des Cahill, the highlights show’s host for the last 15 seasons, is moving on. The viewing public had decided that it was James Last’s unmistakable blast of brass in Jagerlatein that signals the start of the Irish summer and the GAA championship. [RTÉ](https://www.independent.ie/topics/rte-40346995/) opted to replace the show’s signature refrain as part of its attempt to modernise the show. Paul Byrnes, the programme’s editor at the time, said the broadcaster had been “inundated with requests from the public” to restore the theme tune.

Sports presenter Des Cahill has said RTÉ may cast the net far and wide when it comes to finding his replacement on The Sunday Game.

There’s no time for any of that now as it’s straight on to the next match, and next season there will be far more matches.” I’ve done my stint in not going to matches and I want to go back to matches. And I feel bad about it and I feel bad for them.” “Between me going, and six pundits as well, it’s an obvious time to reboot it. “I was lucky to get that gig at the time and have help from people. RTÉ are clearly taking their time as they are not going to announce it until next year,” he told Independent.ie.

Joe Brolly was not surprised to see his "great friend" and former colleague Des Cahill step down from his role on The Sunday Game.

The enjoyment. The spontaneity. RTE said that Joanne Cantwell will continue to anchor The Sunday Game Live and that a new presenter for The Sunday Game will be announced in 2023.

"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".
