New father Ryan McHugh is hoping to christen the recent arrival of his son by emulating his father Martin and brother Mark and winning an All-Ireland SFC medal on July 27.

Senan arrived safely into his and his wife Bridget’s lives three weeks ago and McHugh is leaning on her heavily as preparations now kick in ahead of facing Kerry.
