Career
A one-time captain of the Cork senior team, Mehigan enjoyed little success during his inter-county career. At club level Mehigan was a multiple county championship medalist with Lees. Mehigan hailed from a family with a strong association with Gaelic games.
Another brother, Paddy, played both hurling and football for Cork and London and was later a pioneering Gaelic games journalist.
A great grand-nephew, Owen Sexton, played for Cork in the 2000s.
