It's three years since GOWA Sports Ireland, a female-targeted sportswear company, was founded.
The brainchild of former Sligo footballer Noelle Gormley and current Galway and Kilkerrin-Clonberne player Louise Ward, the venture, according to the latter, is going from "strength to strength".
After studying to be a physiotherapist and then working in Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe, Ward entered the world of self-employment. So far, so good as she juggles managing the business and playing for both club and county.
After a season where Galway were edged out by Dublin in a dramatic TG4 All-Ireland semi-final, thoughts turned then to the club campaign. Kilkerrin-Clonberne are seeking a fifth All-Ireland football title on the trot. It's close to a fortnight since the club landed another Galway title, defeating old foes Claregalway by 16 points in the decider. Westport await in the Connacht semi-final.
A decade of unprecedented success for Kilkerrin-Clonberne then, summed up by Ward at the launch of the AIB GAA Club Championships.
"We only won the intermediate final in 2012, gained promotion in 2013 and have won every county final since, so it's crazy," says Ward.
"We're enjoying it even though there is always pressure coming into a big game like a county final but we were really happy that we got a good first-half performance. Weren't happy with how we played in the second half but we had done enough. I'm getting closer to 30 and you're relishing these wins a little bit more as you are not going to be around forever."
Ward's father Willie, the team manager, and sister Nicola are also central to what has been achieved. In essence, the club are just one big happy family, with football the glue that nets the tapestry together.
"Dad would have introduced us to football when we were five years of age," Ward revealed.
"He brought us to the boys training and he was with is all the way up through Under-12, 14, 16, minor and adult level.
"He took a break but came back and this is his fifth year. It's fitting that he is involved when the club is winning All-Irelands as he was the one who started a lot of the girls off, not just me and Nicola, but Michael Divilly (coach) was there those years and his daughters were involved.
"Nearly each of the management have a daughter on the team so it's extra special to share those moments with your family. They are close to the action, are on the sideline, and are going through it with you: the nerves and the build-up. It's great to have that extra ear to lean on, and it's particularly important when you are going into big games.
"It's fair to say we have a happy club culture, so many people are involved, not just the players and the team."
At press events, it's no surprise that the obvious gets asked. Four All-Irelands won. Is the 'Drive for 5' on?
Ward's initial response is one of bullishness before adopting a more cautious tone, when saying: "Every year your over-arching goal is to win an All-Ireland and you shouldn't be in the competition if that wasn't your goal."
And then.
"For us and I know it's a cliché but it is about taking every game as it comes. That started with the county final where we have built up a rivalry with Claregalway so we do have to get our ducks in a row early each year, which is good.
"We won't discuss a five in a row or a drive for five as people like to call it. Big teams have not done it like the Limerick hurlers, so it is very difficult. Getting the first one was huge not realising the next one was going to come. But in thinking too far ahead you can fall into a trap and not be there."
Of course 2025 will be a year of regret for those in the maroon colours of Galway.
An All-Ireland final place was there for them on that July evening in Tullamore.
"We were hugely disappointed after the Dublin game," was Ward's summation.
"They were the better team in extra-time but over the first 60 minutes it was a game I feel we left behind us. There were chances in that first half that we didn't execute. We should have won it. We put all our effort into it but it didn't go our way.
"We had four weeks to get over the disappointment, to give us time to tune out and get that mental refocus before we went back to the club, making sure the bodies were prepped for this part of the year."
History beckons then. Another reason for Kilkerrin-Clonberne to celebrate in the countdown to Christmas?
Time will tell.
