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]
