The Mayo GAA Hurling Skills Competitions were held in Claremorris GAA Grounds recently with skills testing at U16, U14, U12 and U10 grades.

In the U16 Poc fada competition, Sam Forde (Moytura) finished first with Shane Geraghty (Westport) finishing runner-up. Both Sam and Shane now go forward to represent Mayo at the Connacht GAA U16 Poc Fada which will be held on Monday 1st July at the Connacht Centre of Excelence in Bekan.

In the U14 Hurling Feile na nGael Skillstar challenge, honours went to Cormac Phillips (Ballyhaunis) with John Heraty (Moytura) finishing as runner-up. Cormac now goes forward to represent Mayo at the National Feile na nGael U14 Skillstar competition, which will be held on Saturday 6th July in Mick Neville Park in Rathkeale in County Limerick as part of the National U14 Feile na nGael weekend festival.

The U12 skills competition was a very close affair with Evan Heraty (Moytura) pipping Conor Ferguson (Ballyvary) at the post, while the U10 competition saw Conor Roddy (Caiseal Gaels) lead the field with Padriag Mooney (Tooreen) in second spot.
