  2. Good Runners

    Share Share Post
    Some years ago the men ran each other races. They went to very long flat fields and there they took off their coats, shoes and stockings. Then them all start run. The best runners around this district were Frank Kiernan, Thomas Duffy and Ned Duffy. Thomas Duffy ran a race with a cow some years ago. One day one of his cows went into a neighbours man's field and he went into it to stop her out. She began to run down a big bray[?[ and Thomas caught a hold of her by the horn and got her out.
