Biography

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

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. 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.
