Francis Carroll (born 1970) is an Irish former hurler. At club level, he played with Garryspillane and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.
Carroll first played for the Garryspillane club at juvenile and underage levels, before eventually progressing to adult level. He won a Limerick IHC medal in 1990, after scoring 1-03 in the final replay against Ardagh.[1] He collected a second Limerick IHC title in 1996 when he also served as team captain.[2] Carroll also won a Limerick SHC medal in 2005, when Garryspillane beat Kilmallock to claim their very first title.[3]
At inter-county level, Clarke first played for Limerick as a member of the minor team in 1988.[4] He immediately progressed to the under-21 team and spent three consecutive years in that grade.[5]
Carroll joined the senior team in 1991 and quickly claimed his first silverware when Limerick claimed the National Hurling League title in 1992.[6] He won Munster SHC medals in 1994 and 1996, however, Limerick faced subsequent All-Ireland final defeats by Offaly and Wexford respectively.[7][8] Carroll added a second National League medal to his collection in 1997.[9]
Performances at inter-county level for Limerick resulted in Carroll being called up to the Munster inter-provincial team. He made his only appearance in 1994 but failed to win a Railway Cup medal.[10]
