Rachel Wyse has given her support to the prospect of Sky Sports broadcasting women's GAA games.
Wyse, who will anchor the GAA coverage on Sky Sports for the third time this summer, has said that she would welcome the coverage of Ladies GAA on the channel and said that focusing on women's sport in general, is a major priority for the TV station.
''I can only speak from my own perspective but I know women’s sport is a big priority within Sky Sports. We have a programme that runs every Tuesday called SportsWomen and it is all about celebrating female athletes in the UK and Ireland, for example, Katie Taylor… I think the more coverage the better.''
