Newcastle fly-half Joel Hodgson missed a last-gasp drop goal as Leicester edged to a frenetic 14-13 Aviva Premiership win at Kingston Park.After last weeks horror show at Bath, Newcastle started with real purpose to lead 10-0 with an early try from Juan Pablo Socino plus a Mike Delany conversion and penalty.The Falcons led for most of the match in front of a crowd of 6,750 but Mike Fitzgeralds try and three Freddie Burns penalties gave Leicester the victory.Scott Lawson got Newcastle on the front foot with a barrelling run into the Tigers half and in the sixth minute scrum-half Sonatane Takulua made a break and his pop pass sent in Socino under the posts and Delany converted.Newcastle had the Tigers pack in trouble at the scrum but the penalty against the visitors seemed harsh and Delanys spiral kick into the corner set up a line-out and series of pick and drives which ended with Newcastle agonisingly spilling the ball right on the line.Delany was then wide with a 45-metre penalty but bang on target when Simon Hammersley pressurised and Leicester were caught in possession in their own 22, with Burns penalised for hanging on and that made it 10-0 in the 16th minute.Evan Olmsteads careless penalty opened the door for Leicester to go to the corner and Newcastle were struggling to hold the Tigers drive and eventually big lock Fitzgerald bounced Sinoti Sinoti off and scored in the corner in the 20th minute.Burns missed the conversion but knocked over a 28th-minute penalty for Newcastle going over the ball to make it 10-8.It looked as if Newcastle had scored again when Delanys clever chip bounced awkwardly and Socino seized on to it but was stopped a metre short.Newcastle piled in and Dominic Waldouck wriggled through for what the crowd thought was a try but referee J P Doyle, quite rightly, decided it was a Tigers penalty for a double movement by the centre.Five minutes before the break Delany had the chance to extend the Falcons lead but hit the post with the penalty and Leicester were able to clear.Leicester took the lead for the first time in the 50th minute with a penalty from Burns after Newcastle had been adjudged to have gone off their feet.JP Pietersens break-out looked to have given Leicester the opening they wanted but, once again, Newcastles defence was exemplary and Rob Vickers stole a loose ball and the Falcons cleared.Newcastle then conceded a penalty for collapsing a maul and although Burns missed the kick at goal from 45 metres, he landed one two minutes later to make it 14-10.There was a close call for Leicester when Vereniki Goneva burst through and was stopped on the line before Sinoti sent lock Dan Temm over in the corner.Referee Doyle chalked off the try after watching the replay but gave Newcastle a penalty and sin-binned centre Peter Betham for preventing release, with Hodgson making it 14-13 with the penalty 10 minutes from time.Newcastle mounted one last charge with a minute left on the clock but Will Witty could not hang on to Mark Wilsons desperate overhead pass inside the Tigers 22.The Falcons had a scrum close to the Leicester line with time up and worked into a position for Hodgson to have a drop-goal attempt from right in front, only for the fly-half to send his effort wide. Clarence Weatherspoon Jersey . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. Julius Erving Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. https://www.cheap76ers.com/ . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. Spencer Hawes Jersey . Just not the game.

The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. MIAMI -- Butch Davis kept the message simple when he met with his new FIU football team for the first time Tuesday.He rattled off a list of schools that arent in major conferences and still found a way to get into major bowls in recent years, the likes of Boise State, Northern Illinois, Central Florida and Houston.If they can get into Jan. 1 bowl games, why not us? Davis said. Why not us?And with that, Davis next rebuilding project began.Davis five-year contract -- one thats worth about $1 million annually -- was finalized Tuesday, his first day on the job as FIUs newest football coach. He hasnt seen the team play yet and is leaning against going to either of the Panthers final two games this season, choosing for now to spend the majority of his time getting a staff together and preparing to start culling South Floridas super-fertile recruiting ground once again.I love this opportunity, said Davis, who has been an ESPN analyst for the past three years and sought the Miami job -- his old job -- that went to Mark Richt last December. I am grateful to be here and to be the head football coach at FIU. And I look at this challenge as one that has no limits for the ceiling.Davis was introduced to the FIU community at the schools stadium, one that hasnt had much to cheer about in the past few years.This will be the fifth consecutive season that the Panthers miss a bowl game, and now Davis will be the one charged with making sure that streak doesnt last much longer.This is a day today thats a game-changer, said Pete Garcia, FIUs executive director of sports and entertainment -- and someone who worked side by side with Davis at Miami and with the Cleveland Browns. Not just for FIU football, but for FIU athletics.Davis went 51-20 at Miami from 1995 to 2000, taking over a program decimated by sanctions and scholarship losses and turning it into one that would dominate its way to the 2001 national title.dddddddddddd Davis was with the Browns when that title was won, taking them to the playoffs in 2002 -- the last appearance in the postseason for that franchise.He coached North Carolina from 2007 through 2010, then got fired in 2011 as part of the fallout of an NCAA investigation. Davis was never implicated in that scandal.Getting let go by the Tar Heels left a bad taste in Davis mouth, though he said he had a bigger reason for wanting to resume his career on the sideline.The motivation to take this job had to do with kids, Davis said. I love kids. I love coaching. I love the competition. I love the recruiting aspect. I love being in the locker room and the weight room. ... Thats why you coach. If you dont coach for the kids, you shouldnt coach at all.Not long before Davis first FIU event, Richt said he wished the newest coach in town well. Miami and FIU are scheduled to resume their series in 2018 and 2019.I think Butch is a great coach, period, Richt said. I think hes a great person. I think it already is a home run for FIU. I know hes going to be excited about the challenge and the opportunity there. Well have to get ready when the time comes. I dont know him well, but Ive known him for a while, and I have a lot of respect for him as a coach and a person.FIU president Dr. Mark Rosenberg said he thinks Tuesdays move will be one that resonates at the school for a long time.Butch Davis has fire in the belly for excellence, Rosenberg said. He has fire in the belly for student-athletes. And he has fire in the belly for American college football. ' ' '
