ATHY - from the song "Johnny I hardly knew you"

While goin' the road to sweet Athy,
Hurroo, hurroo :|
While goin' the road to sweet Athy

A song called "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" begins with the lyric "While goin' the road to sweet Athy"
so I guess Athy.
other one certainly looks like score - but i can't see why.

If you break your duck (e.g. in cricket) you score. A duck is zero, no runs.

but that leaves "board" and "eggs"(can also be 0's) unaccounted for.

Ahh - the score board.
not the best clue.
