Kerry's ladies senior football team are hoping to end a 30-year famine and bring the Brendan Martin Cup back to the Kingdom by beating Dublin in this year's All-Ireland final at Croke Park on Sunday.
It is only the third time in history that the same counties have contested the men's and ladies’ finals in the same year.
In the west Kerry Gaeltacht, home to Captain Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh and 'Cracker' Niamh Ní Chonchúir, locals say there won't be a soul left in the parish as family and supporters prepare to make the five-hour bus journey to Dublin for the clash.
Clíona Ní Chonchúir, the 'Cracker's' sister, says they see all the hard work Niamh, Louise and all the girls put in and she hopes it will pay off.
"Cumann Caide Ban Chorca Dhuibhne is a small club. There's only about 70 of us altogether under age and seniors, so it is huge (to have) two girls on the panel. Geraldine O'Shea, as well, a selector and managerial role.
"It is massive, especially back here in the Gaeltacht and Lispole (Lios Póil) as well. It is a huge achievement, really."
Niamh and Clíona's brother Seán says the girls are without a doubt ready to challenge for the title.
The town of Castleisland is home to four of the starting team, three of them members of the local club Castleisland Desmonds.
This week, there was not a shop window or lamppost without the green and gold.
This year the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) is marking its 50th final.
Kerry supporter and Castleisland Desmond's member Gerard Murphy was at the first one with his father.
He said: "Yes, in Littleton (in Co Tipperary) we were at it and as my dad said, it was held at a crossroads with only one bar in the place.
"You can see on Sunday, it will be held in Croke Park in front of 50,000, 60,000, 70,000 (supporters), which is a great honour for Kerry and I think we are still in front with the amount of All-Irelands we have won, and hopefully we will add another on Sunday."
Hannah Herlihy won an All-Ireland Minor B ladies football medal last weekend for Kerry after they beat Sligo in the final.
With this, and the Under-16 All-Ireland ladies football titles already under their belt, the county is now chasing the treble on Sunday.
Her advice to the senior team is that keep their composure.
"They can do it, they have the skills and they've put in the work all year. They were unlucky last year. This is our year," she said.
However, Dublin are looking to do the double, as the capital is hoping they can bring home both the men's and ladies senior football titles this year.
Excitement is building, no more so than in the Naul, a small village in north Co Dublin that is home to Captain Carla Rowe.
Chairman of local club Clann Mhuire Anthony Whyte said: "The whole village was very excited and there's great buzz and the whole area.
"It's great to have somebody on the Dublin team but Carla being captain now is a real treat for us and we're very proud of her."
A double-decker bus is leaving the village for Croke Park on Sunday and such is the demand to go to the final the club are trying to organise a second.
Carla's father Shay says the support of the village means the world to her.
"Oh, it's fantastic. Every time she comes down here the kids are all over looking for autographs and everything else and it's a huge thing for her as well to know that the whole village and the town is behind her, you know?"
Shay thinks Dublin will win, but that it will be a close contest.
Over in Drumcondra, anticipation is also growing. Five of the current Dublin team are members of Na Fianna.
Downey Keegan is the club treasurer and she coached the first ever girls team at the club.
"It's amazing for the club. It really is, you know, to have five girls. Ladies, I should say at that standard, it's just superb. And I suppose it pays for all the work that's been put here in the club.
"You know, the ladies' membership, ladies' football membership has skyrocketed. You know, from that one team back in 2003," she said.
The younger members of the club are confident of victory and hopeful that one day they will follow their heroes.
Bridget Clonan says having five players from her club on the county team is inspiring.
She says: "It's really cool cause like being part of Na Fianna and then people (for here) that are actually in the final feels like really special ... I feel like I could play in the final one day."
