Career

Sherwin's broadcasting career began with Radio Éireann in 1961. He quickly moved to television, where he worked as a continuity announcer and newsreader. Sherwin joined RTÉ Sport where his rugby commentary on radio and television spanned four decades from 1970 to 2004.[3] He commentated for more than 20 years on tennis and was RTÉ's main commentator at eight Olympic Games from Munich 1972 to Athens 2004. Sherwin proved himself to be a versatile broadcaster and was also RTÉ's lead commentator on many non-sporting outside broadcasts, including the inauguration of Presidents, and produced documentaries and films on a wide range of subjects, including health, social issues and sport.[4]
