Abstract: Let $p, q$ be distinct primes, with $p > 2$. In a previous paper we classified the Hopf-Galois structures on Galois extensions of degree $p^{2} q$, when the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Galois group are cyclic. This is equivalent to classifying the skew braces of order $p^2q$, for which the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the multiplicative group is cyclic. In this paper we complete the classification by dealing with the case when the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the Galois group are elementary abelian. According to Greither and Pareigis, and Byott, we will do this by classifying the regular subgroups of the holomorphs of the groups $(G, cdot)$ of order $p^{2} q$, in the case when the Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$ are elementary abelian. We rely on the use of certain gamma functions $gamma:G o operatorname{Aut}(G)$. These functions are in one-to-one correspondence with the regular subgroups of the holomorph of $G$, and are characterised by the functional equation $gamma(g^{gamma(h)} cdot h) = gamma(g) gamma(h)$, for $g, h in G$. We develop methods to deal with these functions, with the aim of making their enumeration easier and more conceptual.
