It’s only right that tradition trumps modern sports nutrition trends sometimes. St Nick’s footballers have always enjoyed a tray of creamy cakes after the last training session before a championship game.

The sister club of hurling bluebloods Glen Rovers, Nick’s upheld the custom when mixing it with the heavyweights of Cork football. And the players enjoyed their post-session treat from the Old Mill bakery on Thursday night too as they prepare to face Cobh in the Premier JFC semi-final in Carrigtwohill today/Saturday.
