Sky Sports Gaelic Games presenters and analysts

Broadcaster announces on-screen line-up for its GAA coverage

Rachel Wyse.

Wyse, a former Ireland international show jumper, is a presenter on Sky Sports News, will be co-presenter of the Gaelic games coverage.

"It's a huge opportunity. I've been working with Sky for four years and have seen how they package sports. It will be my job to get the best out of the experts - remember, I'm Irish and know that half the world will be tuning in to see this."

Brian Carney


Carney, a former dual rugby international in both league and union, won a Wicklow junior A football championship with Valleymount in 1998. He is presenter of Sky Sports rugby league coverage and will also co-present the station's Gaelic games broadcasts. "I'm excited to come back because I didn't think I'd get a chance to work here. I'm familiar with Gaelic games and played football although to no great standard."
