Muireann Kelleher is hoping that St Vincent's can at least match last year's success as they prepare for a massive Leinster Club Camogie showdown today.
The Dublin champions face Birr in the semi-final, a year after toppling Oulart-the-Ballagh in the provincial decider but then losing the All-Ireland semi-final to eventual two-in-a-row champions Sarsfields of Galway.
But midfielder Kelleher insists that even retaining their county title was a battle after a 0-15 to 2-06 win over St Jude's last month.
"We are just absolutely over the moon that we can contest Leinster," she told RTÉ Sport. "We are looking forward to the match against Birr.
"It has been amazing, hopefully we can keep winning and getting matches to play.
"2019 was amazing, we were lucky enough to get into the All-Ireland series. Unfortunately, we didn't make it further. Last year was another good campaign, even just getting the county final because we had lost the two years previous to that. We were disappointed with ourselves, so to be able to come back, to back it up this year, was just amazing.
"It can be very hard to get out of Dublin. You cannot think about anything else. Even though you might have had success in Leinster, it is very hard to get out of Dublin. We were really delighted to back that up this year, to make it two years in a row."
Dublin-based teacher Kelleher used to represent her native Corofin but the travel back to Clare took its toll and she stopped playing camogie altogether from age of 23-27.
In 2018, she picked up a hurl again with Vincent's and to her surprise has also since become a key member of the Dubs panel.
"I've always been into fitness so I would've been in the gym and that, but it just isn't the same," she said. "My husband was saying 'would you not get back into camogie? it is something you love'. So I sent a message to a person in charge of the camogie, Clodagh, she got back to me straightaway.
"So I played with the junior team first and made it up to the senior team that year. It happened so quickly that year in 2018, I've never looked back since. I'm so delighted I went back. Vincent's is just an amazing club, you have to be in it to realise it. They are just like a family, they were all at my wedding.
"The standards set at the training sessions, the people that you're marking in training, the commitment is there. I've never played with a group like that before. I felt like I had the resources and the people there to help me when I did need that in Vincent's. I can only thank them for getting me to where I am now.
"I never thought I'd make senior county, it was something I was hugely delighted with when I did. I really cherished that jersey when I got it because it was something I didn't think that would happen in my camogie career.
"I was delighted to play with the group of girls I did with in Dublin, they were such a committed bunch too. It is unusual, but it isn't beyond anyone when you put your head down doing your best."
