Social media reaction to the first-half of Kerry v Tyrone in All-Ireland semi-finals

Supporters have been reacting to the first-half of Kerry v Tyrone in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final.

The Red Hands lead the Kingdom by 0-9 to 0-5 at the break.

The winners will face Dublin in the September 1 decider after Jim Gavin's men defeated Mayo on Saturday.

Tyrone struck first as Michael McKernan pointed inside the fourth minute before David Clifford kicked a free over one minute later.

The Red Hands were back in front soon after though as Cathal McShane and Mattie Donnelly both kicked over.

Sean O'Shea fired over a second Kerry free in the tenth minute and moments later Paul Geaney drew the sides level.

Tyrone went back ahead through a 45 from their goalkeeper Niall Morgan before Clifford pointed from play.

Niall Sludden looked to be in on goal on 15 minutes, but he ended up scoring a point and McShane added another for the Ulster side four minutes later.

Kerry's O'Shea successfully dispatched a 45 then, but it was instantly cancelled out by Tyrone.

Mattie Donnelly finished off a nice team move for Mickey Harte's men just before the half hour mark and Sludden added another in the 35th minute.
