Lynch kicked two of those from frees as did county star Caolan McColgan, who then lashed a brilliant effort into the net as it looked game over at half-time at 2-9 to 0-3.

The second half was low scoring as Carndonagh hit five points, while Rory Hirrell hit two for Naomh Pádraig as did captain Dermot Keaveney to seal a historic win for the Ture club.
