A brand new GAA series, The Marty Squad, will begin on on RTÉ Radio 1 this Sunday.
The programme will take a fresh look at the GAA Championships every Sunday evening from 6pm-7pm.
Presented from match venues all over the country by Marty Morrissey and Paddy McKenna, who will be in Dublin, the show will take a different look at the weekend’s GAA action.
Reporter Brenda Donohue will be on the road at the big matches each weekend talking to fans and sampling the atmosphere.
The squad will be bolstered by weekly appearances from former Roscommon goalkeeper and Connacht championship winner Shane Curran, former Kilkenny All-Ireland winner David Herity and former Cork camogie star Anna Geary. And there’ll be a chance for the real experts – the supporters on the road home – to have their say too.
Morrissey said: “To win an All-Ireland takes a great squad of players… and it’s the same for radio! I am delighted to be part of this new squad and to work for the first time with Paddy McKenna and to renew acquaintances with Brenda Donohue.
“But it’s not about us, it’s about you, your feelings, your joy and your heartbreak as we travel together to Croke Park for the All-Ireland finals.”
