Playing career

Carroll first played Gaelic football at club level with Dohenys. He won several West Cork JFC titles before winning a Cork JFC medal in 1966.[1][2] Carroll's performances in the junior grade resulted in him being drafted onto the Carbery divisional team and he won two Cork SFC titles.[3] He completed the full set of championship medals when he won a Cork IFC title with Dohenys in 1972.[4]

Carroll's inter-county career with Cork began as a member of the junior team in 1961.[5] His performances in this grade resulted in him being drafted onto the senior team for the 1964 Munster final.[6] Carroll won consecutive Munster SFC medals in 1966 and 1967 and came on as a substitute when Cork were beaten by Meath in the 1967 All-Ireland final.[7][8][9] After his senior career ended in 1968, he re-joined the junior team and was a non-playing substitute when Cork won the All-Ireland JFC title in 1972.
