Playing career[]

Born in Ballyduff, County Kerry, O'Carroll first played hurling with the local club. He won a County Championship title in 1891, a victory which allowed Ballyduff represent Kerry in the 1891 Munster Championship. He ended the provincial campaign with a winners' medal after a win over Limerick in the final. Kerry subsequently faced Wexford in the 1891 All-Ireland final, with O'Carroll once again selected on the team, and went on to claim a 2–03 to 1–05 win after extra time.[1] O'Carroll won a second County Championship medal in 1895, this time lining out with Kilmoyley.

Death[]

O'Carroll died in Ballyduff on 29 December 1960. At the time of his death he was the last surviving member of Kerry's All-Ireland-winning team.[2]
