Paddy O'Carroll (17 February 1866 – 29 December 1960) was an Irish hurler who played for club sides Ballyduff and Kilmoyley, and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior hurling team.
Playing career
[edit]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
[edit]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]
