RTÉ has come under fire for its TV coverage of last Saturday’s Leinster SHC clash between Westmeath and Wexford in Mullingar.

A late goal from veteran Derek McNicholas earned the hosts a famous draw, but unfortunately the camera work on The Sunday Game didn’t do it justice with Ewan MacKenna asking on Twitter if it had been filmed on a Nokia mobile phone!

Was Westmeath and Wexford filmed on a Nokia?

Kudos to the analysts on @TheSundayGame for being able to pick out the players in the Wexford/Westmeath Leinster hurling match considering @RTEsport sent a CCTV camera to capture the footage🙄🙄@westmeath_gaa
