Born in Three Castles, County Kilkenny, Dermody first played hurling with the local Threecastles club. After a period playing for the Kilkenny club in New York, he returned to Ireland and joined the Tullaroan club with whom he won a county championship medal in 1930.

Dermody first played for Kilkenny as a replacement for the absent Mark McDonald in 1922. He lined out for the team in the earlier rounds of the championship, winning a Leinster medal, but missed the subsequent All-Ireland victory. After almost a decade away from the inter-county scene, Dermody returned as first-choice Kilkenny goalkeeper in 1931. Over the course of the following four seasons he won two All-Ireland medals and three further Leinster medals.

As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Dermody won back-to-back Railway Cup medals in 1932, as captain, and 1933. He had earlier represented the United States team in the 1928 Tailteann Games.

gollark: No.

gollark: The Lua client connects to a JS websocket server which relays messages between the sockets.
gollark: All those using skynet must update or else. I have made a new version including:* one websocket for all channels, which is probably better* a different protocol (contact me for instructions on out-of-game use)* a slightly different API - shouldn't really be noticeable* actual handling of the server failingand it's backwards-incompatible, so like I said, update or else.
