Disappointment at absence of TV coverage for Antrim hurlers

Former Waterford manager Paraic Fanning has questioned why there were no highlights of Antrim's Allianz Hurling League clash with Kilkenny on RTÉ's Allianz League Sunday last night.
The game at UPMC Nowlan Park - which saw the Saffrons run the hosts to three points - was the only Division 1 fixture not to receive coverage. Antrim's strong showing prompted presenter Joanne Cantwell to say: "It's a pity we didn't get cameras set up for the Antrim v Kilkenny clash in Nowlan Park".
Bring a wee camera lads and cover our division 1 games please in the #AllianzLeagues , it would be nice to feature. #PleaseAndThankYou.

TweetAntrim playing a Div 1 hurling today- why is there no coverage of it on highlights tonight? We have one team from Ulster competing in top tier and we don’t bother covering it?Also like to see Kilkenny as well and if they were playing anyone else RTE would show it🤷♂️#AllianzLeagues
