IT WAS a case of third time lucky as Ross County showed Dutch courage and finally escaped the Netherlands without a red card.
After sendings off and early season suspensions for Richard Brittain and Stuart Kettlewell in previous Dutch tours, Adams was relieved to finish with 11 men.
He was also more than happy with a 2-1 defeat by a classy FC Twente side packed with internationals.
Adams, who fielded Graham Carey as a trialist and will discuss a deal next week, said: "It was a very good work-out for the lads, so I'm delighted."
Merlin Schutte and Tim Holscher gave the Dutch side a two-goal lead before Jake Jervis nodded in County's reply.
Meanwhile, St Mirren went down by the odd goal in three at Carlisle. Former player Danny Grainger gave the English side the lead before Danny Kearns extended it after the break. Thomas Reilly struck a consolation.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
