PEAMOUNT UNITED MOVED clear at the top of the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division table today after a late win at Treaty United.
Kate Mooney was the goal-scoring hero at Markets Field; cooly slotting home in the 84th minute to deliver all three points after being played through by former Republic of Ireland international and captain Karen Duggan.

This was a real battle in Limerick. Peas played most of the game with 10 players, owing to Tara O’Hanlon’s 37th-minute red card.
Treaty, impressively rebuilding under former Peas underage coach Alban Hysa, pushed the 2019 and 2020 champions all the way and created some big chances of their own, but James Callaghan’s side had the experience and know-how to get the job done.
Peamount (22) now move three points ahead of Galway United (19), who have a week off.
Shamrock Rovers stayed within a point of the leaders — and keep their unbeaten start intact — with a 1-0 win at Athlone Town.
Lia O’Leary’s goal on the half-hour mark gave the Hoops all three points, but manager Collie O’Neill will be waiting anxiously for updates on Jaime Thompson and Shauna Fox, who were both forced off injured in the second half.
Defending champions Shelbourne and Dublin counterparts Bohemians, meanwhile, kept the pressure on with wins over DLR Waves and Wexford Youths respectively.

Bohs’ 3-0 victory at Ferrycarrig Park is a particularly notable result. Mayo multi-sport star Sarah Rowe broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, before Niamh Prior and Mia Dodd sealed the deal and made it three wins in-a-row for the Inchicore outfit.
It’s a disappointing defeat for Wexford, who have had a mixed few weeks and sit mid-table.
Jemma Quinn was Shels’ matchwinner at Tolka Park, the Dubliner scoring a goal in each half to down DLR.
And in a basement battle, Sligo Rovers recorded an impressive 2-0 win against Cork City at Turner’s Cross. Casey Howe bagged a first-half brace, handing the Bit O’Red their first three points of the season and sending City to the bottom.
