Sky Sports has issued an apology after viewers missed out on the first 22 minutes of yesterday's Leinster SHC clash between Kilkenny and Wexford.

Armchair fans were left frustrated after the pay-per-view broadcaster gave preference to extra-time in the Tyrone versus Meath All-Ireland SFC qualifier over the early exchanges in Nowlan Park.

"We would like to apologise to our Sky Sports viewers who were understandably frustrated by missing the first 22 minutes of the Kilkenny vs Wexford game this evening on Sky Sports Arena," a statement issued last night said.

"Our channel Sky Sports Main Event is not a second channel. Sky Sports Main Event is set up to mirror what we show on our other sports channels and today we chose to showcase the GAA matches on Sky Sports Main Event.

"We appreciate the frustration felt by fans today and we will be taking all necessary steps going forward to ensure that broadcasting clashes, like the one that happened today, does not occur again."
