Playing career

Club

Duignan played his club hurling with the famous St. Rynagh's club in Banagher. He enjoyed some success at underage levels before winning a senior county title in 1987. Three more county titles followed in 1990, 1992 and 1993, with Duignan converting this last county win into a Leinster club title. Shortly after his retirement from inter-county hurling in 2001 Duignan, who at that stage was living in Naas, County Kildare, transferred to the Raheen club in Kildare. In 2004 he moved clubs again, this time to Durrow where he expected to end his career, however, in 2006 Duignan returned to his native club of St. Rynagh's.
