WATCH: Limerick teen Edward McCarthy on scoring for Treaty Utd against Galway Utd

TREATY United teenager Edward McCarthy experienced the full range of emotions for a League of Ireland soccer player in the space of just seven days.

The talented 19-year-old admitted that he didn't fall sleep until 5.30am last Friday night after his late chance against Cobh Ramblers in his side's 1-1 draw was cleared off the line.

Last night, however, McCarthy was clinical in front of goal when powering home a 17th minute header from Marc Ludden's left wing cross in Treaty United's 1-1 draw with Galway Utd in the SSE Airtricity League First Division at Eamonn Deacy Park.

Treaty suffered the heartbreak of conceding a 94th minute equaliser to John Caulfield's side in another 1-1 draw.
