It's another challenging week for the boys in blue, but former Dublin star Paddy Andrews has made sure that his daughter, Eden, will be cheering them on...even if she is only a few weeks old.

Paddy and Doireann Andrews welcomed their daughter at the end of April. The couple also have a one-year-old boy, Hugo.

Making his return to the commentary panel alongside presenter Aisling O'Reilly and former GAA stars Kerry's Mark O'Shea and former Tribesman, Michael Meehan, the dad of two was congratulated on his big news.

Heading down to the Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney, to discuss the match between Kerry and Roscommon in this year's All-Ireland SFC Preliminary Quarter-Final, Paddy was conscious of another match taking place not too far away in Pearse Stadium, Galway.

Some of his former teammates were travelling to Salthill to take on the Tribe county in what will be a challenging match for the capital.

Speaking among his panellists, Aisling referred to the last Dublin match that took place against Meath, where the Royal County beat the boys in blue 0-23 to 1-16. Andrews, who was in the hospital with his wife Doireann, said that he made sure to tell his newborn that this was not the norm for the Dubs.

'Coming out of the hospital with Eden, I told her that this is not normally like this,' he said, making sure she knew that her dad's team, with whom he donned the blue jersey for 12 years, always strived to win.

The boys in blue missed out on their 15th consecutive Leinster Championship final, but laughing Paddy told Aisling that 'Leinster is finished, it's all about the All-Ireland series.'

With the Dubs aiming for an All-Ireland win, we can be sure that Eden will be ready with her jersey, along with her brother Hugo, to cheer on their team.
