Kerry take on Dublin in the All-Ireland senior football championship final on Sunday, hoping to win title number 39 to extend the county's lead over all other counties.
The game will also see a renewal of the rivalry between Dublin and Kerry, which can be traced back as far as the 1890s.
Ahead of Sunday's final, the mood in Kerry is unusually confident.
Gearóid Meehan is an 18-year old Leaving Cert student from Tralee.
He is also a keen musician and his Kerry-for-Sam anthem for 2023, called "38 and Counting", has the county tapping its feet and singing along.
Better again, proceeds from Gearóid's song will help a good cause too.
"I said it would be nice to have a song for the county, a nice Kerry anthem, so I slapped it together in about half an hour," he told RTÉ News.
"I said it would be nice to do it for charity as well and raise money for the Kerry Hospice."
Gearóid is one of those expecting Kerry to come out on top on Sunday.
"I would say it will be tight but, like the Derry game the last day, we will pull through in the end."
Gearóid has been busking on the streets of Tralee this week with Daibhín Laide from Listowel on the fiddle and Mikey Fealy from Lixnaw on the banjo.
On the beach at Fionn Trá in the West Kerry gaeltacht of Corca Dhuibhne, broadcaster Micheál Ó Se is reminiscing about Kerry/Dublin rivalries of yesteryear.
Micheál played for Kerry, making his senior debut in 1968 and winning senior All-Ireland medals with the county in 1969 and 1970.
On Easter Sunday, 1972, he was one of the original broadcasters hired by the fledgling Raidió na Gaeltachta, and from then on he covered football and hurling finals, minor and senior, for RTÉ.
Micheál recalls the rivalry between Kerry and Dublin, and its intensity.
"When they met you could always expect colour and drama and excitement," he says.
"You could expect high fielding and great football. They had tremendous clashes. It was truly an era that will always be cherished in GAA folklore."
Micheál sees room for improvement in Kerry from the performances in earlier rounds of the championship, but he feels Kerry have more in the tank than Dublin.
"Our backs struggled for a long time against a great Derry side, but I'd have great faith in our backs to do the job on Sunday," he says.
"Our midfield will have to improve somewhat. Our half-forwards didn't perform well at all - they will have to improve a lot.
"But I have great faith in Jack O'Connor to do the business and maybe just to get us over the line on Sunday in a very, very competitive game."
Na Gaeil is one of the youngest GAA clubs in Kerry - it was established in Tralee four decades ago.
But that hasn't stopped Na Gaeil from becoming one of the county's strongest clubs, winning the All-Ireland junior club football championship in 2019.
On Sunday, Na Gaeil will supply Kerry with its midfield pairing of Jack Barry and Diarmuid O'Connor.
Club Chairman Conor Kavanagh is very proud of their achievements and Na Gaeil's contribution to the Kerry team.
"Jack and Diarmuid are two smashing young men. They are a credit to their families. They are a credit to Na Gaeil.
"They are two brilliant ambassadors for football and for Na Gaeil and we are delighted to have the two of them playing midfield for Kerry," Conor says.
Seamus MacGearailt was joint manager of the Kerry senior football team with Páidí Ó Se in 1997, when Kerry beat Mayo in the All-Ireland final.
Seamus has been involved with the Na Gaeil club for even longer than that and has been watching Diarmuid O'Connor and Jack Barry develop as footballers since they were boys.
"I think they are an ideal pairing for Dublin," he says. "They are both good fielders. They are both lively on their feet and they are good kickers of a ball.
"They are two very good midfielders. Diarmuid is a good 'floater', up and down the field - a link man. Jack does a lot of the work that nobody sees and is very effective at that as well."
Dublin v Kerry games are often close and Seamus predicts something similar on Sunday.
"It really is a 50/50 game. Dublin and Kerry - you will never get anything between them," he says.
"I'm expecting a very good game of football and I think we could do with it."
Underage coaches are the backbone of any successful GAA club.
Helen Tansley is one of the coaches of the under 11 boys and the under 12 girls at Na Gaeil.
For Helen, it's all about participation and keeping the kids involved. And a Kerry win on Sunday will help that too, she says.
"Well, it's going to be a cracker, Dublin and Kerry - what better final can you have," she says.
"I think the semi-final, Derry versus Kerry, will have served Kerry very well. The impact of the subs is going to be huge and I think Kerry all the way, maybe with a couple of points to spare."
