Michael Lyster: 'I can't say I want to go, but I can't say that I don't either'

"Part of the reason that my retirement snuck out at the weekend was because this announcement is going to be made by RTÉ in the near future anyway."

RTÉ have drawn up a shortlist of names to replace Michael Lyster as host of The Sunday Game, writes Stephen Barry.

Lyster confirmed his retirement as host at the end of this year's championship, and revealed that RTÉ intend to announce his successor in the next fortnight.
