Playing football for St Nicholas a labour of love for travelling Niall Horgan

Niall Horgan has spent much of his adult working life in Dublin, but the thought of playing football for anyone other than his native St Nicholas was never an option.

This weekend, Horgan will travel down as the northsiders take on Nemo Rangers in the Cork SFC quarter-final in Páirc Uí Rinn (2pm). The love of the black and white has always been too strong for him to even consider transferring to a Dublin club.

“It is difficult, but I never wanted to move to a club here,” he says. “Much of the joy I get from playing football is from playing with Nick’s, to start it all again was never really an option.
