As told by Twitter: the best tweets from the first half of the All-Ireland final

Dublin vs Kerry vs rain.

Both teams struggled to get much hold on the game (or the ball, for that matter) at the start, thanks in last part to some seriously greasy conditions.

There were ides, slips and mis-kicks in abundance but Dublin went in the leaders, eight points to four. Here’s what Twitter had to say on the opening 35 minutes.

Observational humour:

If your surname is Bastick, might be wise to avoid first name ending in s #DUBvKER

If the #SundayGame actually showed us what Kerry were doing on Cluxton's kick outs rather than just him, it'd be a help #DUBvKER

A shaky start for Cluxton:

Stephen Cluxtons kick outs have been shocking! #AllIrelandFinal #DUBvKER #Dublin #Kerry

Kerry’s shooting:

Kerry being uncharacteristically sloppy with their shooting today. Could come back to haunt them later. #AllIreland #DUBvKER

4 consecutive poor wides for Kerry. They may regret these later on. #DUBvKER #AllIrelandFinal #SundayGame

There's so much slipping in this match it's like an episode of You've Been Framed #DUBvKER

Whatever happens, all the players have promising ice skating careers after the match. #DUBvKER #GAA

Dublin pull away:

Kerry players look to be feeling the crazy pace Dubs are setting. Blowing hard and need halftime. #DUBvKER

So far Dublin have more to offer. #DUBvKER 0-6 0-4
