Brilliant to see Michael Lyster back on RTÉ's The Sunday Game today

He’s back refereeing the pundits for today’s Connacht and Ulster football finals.

AND HE’S BACK on our TV screens.

Michael Lyster has returned to The Sunday Game hotseat today for the Connacht and Ulster football finals after a major health scare last month.

The 61 year-old Galway man has been presenting RTÉ’s flagship GAA show since 1984 but Darragh Maloney has been filling in for him in recent weeks.

Lyster collapsed after a major cardiac arrest at his home earlier this month with his wife Anne saving his life by administering CPR.

It’s brilliant to see him having recovered and back refereeing Pat Spillane, Colm O’Rourke and Ciaran Whelan this afternoon.

Record alert! Mayo star produces incredible display of sharpshooting to score 9-12

6 talking points as Kerry savour Munster final glory and Cork aim to recover

    Incredible result for Limerick. Massive result to win there tonight. Must have been a ridiculous price with the bookies.

    I’m a fan of good football Eamonn, I admire the ethos of Limerick FC and Pat Sullivan trying to build a club from the grassroots up. No money but building the club the right way.

    Good luck to Galway on Sunday, hopefully I’ll be celebrating.

    Stayed behind as a City fan, along with a few other supporters, to applaud Limerick off the field! Fully deserved the 3 points but we should be beating them!! Out of curiosity like this comment if you think Caulfield should stay and dislike if you feel it’s time to go

    Correct but the table has not been updated for a couple of weeks. Limerick now have 3 wins rather than the 1 displayed on the league table on the 42.
