Inter-county

Deighan was called up to the Derry Senior panel in 2008. He helped Derry reach the 2008 Dr McKenna Cup final, where they were defeated by Down. [2] He was part of the Derry panel that won that year's National League where Derry beat Kerry in the final. [3] The league success saw Derry become favourites to win the Ulster Championship [4] and one of the top few for the All-Ireland. However, despite a good opening victory over Donegal, [5] Derry exited the Ulster Championship against Fermanagh at the semi-final stage [6] and were defeated by Monaghan in the first round of the Qualifiers. [7] The Donegal match saw Deighan make his Championship debut. He missed the Fermanagh game through injury, but returned for the Monaghan match.[ citation needed ]
