Gerry Cunningham / Presenter

Ger Cunningham is the co-commentator on Oriel Park Live, the Dundalk FM 97.7 programme that brings live Dundalk FC match commentary to listeners in Dundalk and across the world every Friday night when the Lilywhites are at home.

Alongside John Murphy, one of Dundalk FC’s most celebrated former players and captains, Ger forms the commentary partnership that has defined the sound of match nights for Dundalk FM listeners for years. Their dynamic works because it is built on genuine football knowledge and real feeling for the club, not on performance. Ger brings analysis and the kind of honest second-by-second reaction that only someone who truly cares about the outcome can deliver.

The Oriel Park Live audience is not just local. Dundalk supporters tuning in from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States all follow the commentary that Ger and John produce from Oriel Park, staying connected to their club through 97.7 and the dundalkfm.ie stream. For many in the Irish diaspora, Ger Cunningham’s voice on a Friday night is their most direct link to home.

He is a valued and longstanding member of the Dundalk FM sports team, contributing to a programme that has won Craol Achievement Award recognition and that stands as one of the station’s flagship contributions to community life in Dundalk.
