The Dublin senior camogie team are aiming to emulate the All-Ireland triumphs of their football counterparts when they face Galway at the quarter-final stage this weekend.
1984 is the last time the women from the capital were crowned All-Ireland senior camogie champions, a gap which the current crop, along with their five-time All-Ireland winning manager David Herity are looking to curb.
They took a significant step towards that goal last year after they qualified for the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time in 27 years, following a stunning victory over a much-fancied Wexford outfit. They know they're getting closer to the mountain summit and finished the 2018 All-Ireland group stages with two wins and a draw to leave them in third place in Group 2.
But seasoned star Ali Maguire knows that navigating their way past Galway on Saturday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh won't be easy.
"Last year, we had a very good year getting to the All-Ireland semi-finals. When we came back this year the intention was to get out of the group stages which we did and we're going to take it one game at a time now.
"It was our first semi-final in years last year so we've gained huge confidence from that and we're gonna drive on.
"We played Galway in the group stages last year and they came out on top in the end but we've gained huge experience from playing in the quarter-final and semi-final last year. It's all to play for I think come Saturday. Everyone is buzzing.
"We're playing Galway in the All-Ireland quarter-final and our sole focus is on that."
Dublin is an All-Ireland winning county when it comes to GAA, but their camogie contingent has some catching up to do to keep pace with the football bunch in the modern game.
Jim Gavin's charges are chasing Sam Maguire honours for the fourth consecutive time this season, while the women's football team are also the reigning All-Ireland champions after defeating Mayo last year. That victory was their first time to capture the Brendan Martin Cup since winning their maiden All-Ireland crown in 2010.
Maguire also knows what it's like to experience All-Ireland success, having collected national accolades across the athletics and basketball platforms. She also has an All-Ireland camogie medal to her credit, having won an Ashbourne Cup title with UCD in 2008.
Enabling her Dublin camogie teammates to win a senior All-Ireland title like their footballing relatives is the next step for her.
"We want success so we see them and we see the lads as well, they're the days you want to be playing in Croke Park in September. From the very start of the year that's been our aim all the way through.
"It would be huge. No-one on the current panel has any All-Ireland medals. When you go back training in November/December, everyone's goal is to be in Croke Park in September, we're no different to that. We've trained hard over the last couple of weeks and we're all set ready to go."
