Alan Murphy's improving Galway WFC outfit face Bohemians in the WNL at Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday (6pm ).
A convincing 3-0 win over Treaty United stretched Galway WFC's unbeaten run to four matches, including three victories.
"I think it was a good win, we performed well again, which was the main thing," Murphy says. "We probably didn't play as well as we had played the previous week against Sligo even if the scoreline would suggest otherwise. We are really happy, the group is gelling well and we are looking forward to next week."
How relevant is the momentum that is being generated by a promising Galway side? "It is important," Murphy replies. "As you can see week in, week out there aren't any easy games. Teams are putting it up to all of the other teams, a little bit of consistency and pattern of performance and results is good."
Bohemians carry a threat according to Murphy. "We found it difficult previously against them, they will be really dogged," Murphy says. "They have some excellent players - some very good individual players that have played for other clubs in the division.
"We will need to be at the level we have proven we can be in the last couple of weeks - we will need to be at that level again. Hopefully we will perform well and the result will look after itself after that."
Forging connections with local clubs is vital for the long term development of Galway WFC. The standard of play in the WNL is rising and Murphy is hopeful more people will attend matches at the Corribside venue. "The product is very good - I suppose I would say that," Murphy laughs.
"I was in Renmore and I will do other club visits, I think it is important to do that to get ourselves out there - to show the younger groups they have something to be ambitious about to develop and to play for Galway.
"In the meantime it would be nice to see them up there, to see them supporting the girls, and identifying that ambition for themselves rather than us telling them they should play for Galway. There needs to be a pathway, it is easy say it, but it takes time to do it. That is what we are about by trying to build those relationships with all of the other clubs. Hopefully during the summer we will have some events."
