Legendary RTE presenter Michael Lyster last night signed off for the last time as host of The Sunday Game.
The 65-year-old, who has been presenting the GAA show since 1984, will retire this year, with sports journalist Joanne Cantwell stepping into his shoes.
While reporting from The Gibson hotel last night, where the victorious Dublin team were enjoying their celebratory banquet, team manager Jim Gavin and captain Stephen Cluxton presented Michael with the signed match ball to mark the end of his glittering career.

The Galway man was touched by the thoughtful presentation, and was also honoured with a medal by GAA President John Horan while on air.
Michael will surely be missed!
