Camogie fans aren't happy with RTE for cutting short Cork captain Anna Geary's acceptance speech after yesterday's All-Ireland final.

Geary was delivering her speech after the Rebels' dramatic 2-12 to 1-9 victory over Kilkenny when the national broadcaster, which is a former sponsor of the All-Ireland camogie championship, cut to an ad break.

The national broadcaster's coverage of the camogie finals was otherwise superb but the unfortunate editing drew criticism on social media:

Why @rte? Cutting to ad break in middle of Anna Geary's acceptance speech? Ludicrous. Congrats Cork! #camogie #AllIrelandFinal
