Michael Lynch admitted that his Cloughaneely side were ‘very lucky’ to pull the embers from the fire last night against Naomh Colmcille.
Jason McGee hit a memorable late winner as Cloughaneely scraped past the Division 3 battlers.
Cillian Gallagher’s first half goal also proved vital as the Division 1 side took a 1-10 to 2-6 win.
“We were very lucky to get out and maybe we shouldn’t have got out,” Lynch told Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub.
“It was a wee bit of class from Jason. You have to hand it to our boys, we were in the pit and we dug ourselves out.
“I’ve been in teams that wouldn’t have won that game and you have to take that positive from it. They have showed good character.”
Lynch hailed his match winner, McGee, after the Donegal midfielder – who has been carrying an injury of late – sprung from the bench to tip the scales.
The Cloughaneely manager added: “It’s a wet night and a big kick from well outside the ’45. He played the percentages and that’s why we love to have him.”
