Given that many were tipping the inexperienced Andrews to lead Brentford to relegation at the beginning of the season, it’s been a quite remarkable campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Central to it all have been captain Nathan Collins and shot-stopper Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher.<\/p>\n Collins and Kelleher’s connection has developed from years of lining out together for Ireland, but it has blossomed in red and white this season.<\/p>\n All three have become heroes to Brentford fans this season, and their influence is also evident on the training ground.<\/p>\n READ HERE: Six Debutants Included In Fresh-Faced Ireland Team That Should Start Vs Grenada<\/a><\/p>\n READ HERE: Surprise Ireland Addition Reveals He Missed Message From Heimir About Shock Call-Up<\/a><\/p>\n Brentford’s Irish spread of food<\/p>\n On Wednesday afternoon, Brentford shared brilliant footage from their training ground at Hounslow, West London.<\/p>\n In light of their pronounced Irish influence, Brentford welcomed renowned Dublin-born chef Anna Haugh to the training ground to produce an Irish-themed menu.<\/p>\n Haugh is the founder and lead chef of the celebrated Irish restaurant, Myrtle, near Chelsea. Her culinary expertise was apparent even from the photographs of the food.<\/p>\n Haugh and the Myrtle team put together a menu consisting of Irish classics, with beef and apple pie seeming standouts.<\/p>\n The apple pie, at least, appeared hugely popular among the non-Irish contingent in the squad; “Lots of meat. You need to try Irish beef,” was Nathan Collins’s advice.<\/p>\n Collins, Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher, and Keith Andrews were understandably the most excited of the bunch, with Andrews and Collins excitedly making recommendations to their teammates.<\/p>\n “You’ve turned a few people that weren’t sure,” Andrews joked to Haugh.<\/p>\n It’s fair to say that the Dublin-based chef did a hugely impressive job with the spread.<\/p>\n Whether it can help to fuel Brentford to a Champions League place remains to be seen.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO: 8 Big Name Ireland Players Available On Free Transfers This Summer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
