The 2013 Martin Sheridan Bursary awards were presented by Cllr. John O'Malley, Cathaoirleach, Mayo County Council on Friday 22nd November 2013 in the Sheridan Memorial Community Centre, Bohola. The awards came about following discussions last year between Councillor Joe Mellett and Joe O Neill regarding the desire of Mayo County Council to recognize in some manner the achievements of Martin Sheridan and as the local civic authority to help perpetuate his memory. The idea of a bursary was brought before the County Council by Councillor Mellett and received unanimous support. The Council approved €5,000 from this years budget for the bursary awards.


The Martin Sheridan Bursary Awards are for sports people who have excellent potential, outstanding ability and the desire to perform at the highest level possible in their chosen sport and have the potential to bring recognition and success at National and International level to Mayo. The awards are designed to assist in the cost of education, training, travel and equipment. A total of up to 5 awards are were made by the Bursary Committee.
