My late uncles used say when Dunderry were bad in football that they "shit on the traces".I didn't get this until they explained to me that in the days when the horse was king,a horse not made of the right stuff would shit on the chains (traces )attaching him to the dray rather than go the extra mile when a pullable weight was aboard .i.e.he would give up the ghost without a decent fight.
I will say no more than Dunderry shit on the traces today when going down to a game Kilmainham team in our neighbours pitch in Rathcairn.Three second half goals in a five minute spell kick started them to a well deserved victory.
We were bet five points .
'Nuff said.
