Cliftonville moved eight points clear at the top of the Women's Premiership following a 2-1 triumph over title rivals Glentoran at the Blanchflower Stadium.
The home side broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when Lynch flicked home a pass from Kirsty McGuinness after she had received it from point-blank range.
Shortly thereafter, Ellie Scott palmed away a free-kick attempt by Kirsty McGuinness before making a significant save to collect Abbie Magee's rebound effort.
Just prior to the half-time interval, Glentoran created an opportunity to equalise when Noami McLaughlin struck from distance but her shot curved over the crossbar.
In the final ten minutes of play, Caitlin McGuinness stole possession from Faye Loughran and maintained her composure to place the ball into the net.
Glens had a notable chance to complete their comeback when Caldwell's header from a corner taken by Demi Vance deflected and went just wide of the right-hand post.
The home side restored their advantage after levelled the match on the 62nd minute with Caldwell turning in the box before striking past Emma Higgins.
Both sides pushed for an early goal as Noami McLaughlin and Kirsty McGuinness were denied from range during the opening ten minutes.
