Carvill subsequently joined the Armagh under-21 hurling and football teams, winning an All-Ireland hurling medal at C level. By this stage he had also joined the Armagh senior hurling team, making his debut in 2006, and going on to win two Nicky Rackard Cup medals (the fourth-highest senior inter-county championship overall in hurling) and two lower National Hurling League medals.
