Miller slotted home in just under nine seconds. His goal helped the side, managed by Gary McDaid — Rory Gallagher’s number two with Donegal’s senior footballers — into the last eight of the northern schools’ competition. St Eunan’s face St Pat’s Cavan in a fortnight’s time.

Miller also scored the decisive point in the fourth minute of injury-time at the end of the second period of extra-time to seal a 1-9 to 1-8 win. He even had time to be sent off for a second yellow card — the fourth sending off of a tempestuous contest.
