Kate Mooney's close season move has been a tonic as the nurse intern moves closer to her pro dream.
Mooney has got the flying start she wanted after joining Peamount United for DLR Waves, the striker's five goals in seven games helping the Peas to the league summit.
The 23-year-old has made an instant impact despite putting in 12-hour shifts four days a week in Beaumont Hospital, where she has been since December and will be until she qualifies in September. She trains with her new club three times a week.
