Chester City played Barnsley at the Deva Stadium in the FA Cup second round
replay last night and during the game, as the non-leaguers were
tiring, their coach threw on a packet of Jaffa Cakes to help with the
players' energy levels. Seals' boss Steve Burr thought it would be a
good idea to revitalise his fading troops as they were 0-3 down and
losing their will to live. Rain fell in torrents and Jaffa Cakes
were hurled onto the pitch, some bot finding their target.
Gareth
Roberts, Chester's number 3, picked up the packet and handed them
round to players on both sides. Even the ref was offered one but he
refused, obviously an FA instruction, and asked him to get rid of the
packet. Jaffa Cakes are very good for sport nutrition, being low in
fat and containing 48 calories per biscuit. They are easily absorbed
and burn off quickly, being a quick release of energy, ideal for
consumption before activity. There are also in one Jaffa Cake, only
8.4 grams of carbohydrates, 0.5 grams of protein and 2 grams of
fibre, all good for the sporty body. Other favourites include the
slow burn banana just before game and Haribo or Jelly Babies, wine gums or such, as a
boost before a game. Don't forget water!
