What a half.
Kerry lead Dublin by five points after seven minutes of play that turned the All-Ireland semi-final on his head.
Dublin certainly started the brighter of the two teams with Colm Cooper spurning to very good chances for Kerry. Dublin opened up a solid lead by 20 minutes and looked as if they hadn’t even gotten out of second gear.
Kerry continued to take their points however, and a meltdown from Stephen Cluxton gave Kerry a chance to attack, and a superb hand-pass into the arms of Darren O’Sullivan buried the ball into an open net – and drawing Kerry level.
Cluxton was rocked after this poor kick-out, hammering another kick into touch under no pressure.
Things got even worse just five minutes later, in injury time, when a punt into Cluxton’s area was challenged by Paul Geaney and crossed the line by the narrowest of fractions. Cooper put another point over the bar to leave Kerry five points up at half-time.
Cluxton having a MARE🙊🙈 #DUBvKER

Cluxton🙈. 2-4 in less than 10 mins and no reply. See what Dublin has got now when they have to go the Well..or just come out of 3rd gear

So it seems Cluxton isn't infallible after all, what will his fawning media fans make if this ?? #sundaygame #gaa @adrianharte
