Two Irishmen killed in crash in Australia
A minute’s silence was observed at Saturday night’s Galway-Wexford Leinster hurling championship clash in memory of 24-year-old Mayo hurler Adrian Freeman. He was looking forward to playing with his club, Tooreen, in the county championship later in the summer but, instead, the gifted hurler and footballer’s remains will be brought home by his parents from Victoria.
He died at the scene of Saturday’s crash in Geelong near Melbourne along with Robert Twomey from outside Listowel, where locals are also coming to terms with the death of 21-year-old Timothy Lane in a car crash at Barnagh near Newcastle West, Co Limerick at 8.30am on Saturday.
