If you judge what time it is by the clock of evening sports broadcasting, last night will have thrown you.
RTÉ 2FM’s Game On show is now running for an extended two hours from 6pm to 8pm and with a new line up of presenters.
Donncha O’Callaghan and Ruby Walsh will be joining Marie Crowe in presenting the show.
On their debut last night, Dublin All star and five in a row winner, Jack McCaffrey was live in studio fresh from his team’s homecoming on Sunday in Merrion Square.
The programme also featured Cork hurler Patrick Horgan on the county’s new managerial appointments.
On this evening’s show O’Callaghan will be catching up with Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy.
Former British & Irish Lion, O’Callaghan won 94 Ireland caps, was involved in three Triple Crowns and was part of the 2009 Grand Slam-winning team as well as winning two Heineken Cups with Munster.
Ruby Walsh is a 12-time Champion Jockey – riding more than 2,500 winners in his career.
The two will join RTÉ sports journalist Marie Crowe, a Game On regular, as part of a new line up.
”Ruby & Donncha bring an insight that only comes with elite athletes who have a successful track record,” said RTÉ Group Head of Sport, Declan McBennett.
“We believe that they can transfer that knowledge and insight to listeners in a manner that enhances our sporting coverage for a sports mad nation.”
