Sky Sports presenter Rachel Wyse says the satellite broadcaster is preparing to take its GAA coverage to the next level.

The GAA has agreed a three-year broadcasting deal and the 2015 championships will mark the second year of this landmark ageement. According to Wyse, they will be cranking things up:

"It's been great we survived the first year and I am very lucky I am surrounded by really great people who are very passionate about the GAA," she told The Irish Daily Mirror.

"When the three-year partnership with the GAA was announced, there was plenty of debate and discussion about it. Hopefully we have answered a few of the critics and people who were sceptical along the way.

"For us, the fact that we had nearly half a million people tune in to watch the hurling final at Croke Park was really positive.

"So we're mvong now into this year and hoping to try and make it bigger and better. We want to do more interesting things and use more technology."
