Now this is a skills challenge with a difference.

Eir Sport pitted Monaghan’s Conor McManus against Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez for the ultimate game of keepy-uppy.

In the interests of fairness the two-time GAA All Star and the Premier League champion got the chance to showcase their skills in a range of sports – gaelic football, soccer, rugby and finally hurling.

A respectable showing by both sportsmen there we think.

Although Mahrez needs to remember one key lesson. The sport we play with a hurley and sliotar is most definitely NOT cricket.
