For the second consecutive week Kilcar have escaped a tight game with a late match winner.
Last week the south west Donegal club prevailed by a point at the Bridge, Dunfanaghy, and this week McHugh bailed them out against St. Michael's with the last kick of the game.
Kilcar were trailing heading into the final minutes before Mark Sweeney leveled things up and with the game on the line McHugh slotted a brilliant shot from the sideline to seal the win.

'We won the kickout and we'd set up to defend but it was near the last kick of the game so I just said I'd have a pop at it,' McHugh told SportsJOE.
'It went over and we won the game by a point. It was strange enough conditions but I'm just glad it went over because I had one in the first-half and I pulled it but I was happy to see that one go over.
'I usually don't take the frees for our team but I stepped up and took that one. You kick a lot of points in your career but I was lucky that we caught this one on video.'
