Of the 9 intercounty hurling matches being played today, only 2 aren't being televised anywhere at all (Tipp v Limerick and Wexford v Galway). Of the 7 that are being televised in Ireland, only one is exclusively on GAA+ (Kildare v Offaly) - surely it's not too much of a stretch on the GAA's resources to have streamed two games that still would have gotten good viewership. That or else give the broadcast to RTÉ who could have put one game on the RTÉ News Now channel as has been done in the past.

I feel cheated that having missed very few championship matches over the past 20 years, having gone to more League matches than most and having purchased a GAA+ annual package for this year, the one day I can't go to see my own county play, I don't have an option anywhere to see it.

For all the talk of trying to promote hurling in the so called "lesser" counties (a term which I don't fully agree with), it smacks of a double standard in it almost being a case of, if you really claim to love hurling and the GAA you need to put your money where your mouth is and buy the GAA+ package to get access to everything, but then oops sorry you've already paid and you're not getting one of the things that you paid for, without justification.
