Dublin played Meath in O’Moore Park tonight, and a small banner against the GAA’s deal with Sky was in the stands.

The first of many? Perhaps, as the first inter-county game to be played since the announcement of Sky’s snaffling of some Championship games also saw the first signs of protest from GAA fans.

A small banner reading ‘No 2 SKY’ was pictured in the stands at O’Moore Park.

Fans with sign 2/4/2014

Today’s edition of Liveline featured a man who said he planned to protest at the first game of the Sky deal, a Leinster hurling match between Kilkenny and Ofally at Nowlan Park in June. If tonight’s sign is anything to go by, he won’t be alone.

By the way, Dublin won the game 0-15 to 0-10 to become Leinster U21 football champions.
