Adrian Freeman (13 March 1986[1] – 29 May 2010) was an Irish sportsman from Tooreen, Ballyhaunis,[2] County Mayo. He played Gaelic football and hurling.
Freeman played hurling for Mayo and was a member of the county's 2009 hurling team, which participated in both the National Hurling League (NHL) and the Christy Ring Cup. He played for Connacht in the Interprovincial Championship.[3] He played club football for Aghamore.[4]
His international career consisted of one hurling/shinty Under 21 international appearance in Inverness, Scotland. Freeman also played in England (four times) and toured North America during his career, whilst he was a member of the losing Connacht side from the Interprovincial Championship Final played in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Middle East in March 2009.
Freeman's death at the age of 24 in a traffic collision in Australia on 31 May 2010 led to an outpouring of public grief in Ireland's GAA circles.
