Newport Gwent Dragons secured a sensational 23-21 European Challenge Cup quarter-final victory over defending champions Gloucester at Kingsholm. The Dragons will face a huge task in the semi-finals with an away game at high-flying, Montpellier, but a late try from Charlie Davies to add to five penalties from Dorian Jones and one from Carl Meyer sent the holders out of the competition.Stevie McColl and Ben Morgan scored tries for Gloucester with Greig Laidlaw kicking three penalties and a conversion and the defeat virtually guarantees that Gloucester will not qualify for the European Champions Cup next season. Dragons made a poor start as their kick-off went straight into touch but they recovered to take a ninth-minute lead with a penalty from Jones.Despite this setback, the home side dominated the opening quarter as they declined to take kickable penalties in favour of more attacking options to test the Dragons defence.After 13 minutes, they were rewarded when a neat off-load from Matt Kvesic created the space for Morgan to gallop 20 metres to score the opening try.Laidlaw missed the conversion before an excellent burst from Taulupe Faletau took the visitors in the opposition 22 and when Gloucester were penalised, a second penalty from Jones put Dragons back in front.However that score was against the run of play as the hosts continued to dominate and a penalty from Laidlaw put his side 8-6 ahead at the end of the first quarter.Dragons soon suffered two further blows when first scrum-half Sarel Pretorius was yellow-carded for a dangerous challenge before Laidlaw kicked his second penalty.Jones had two chances to reduce the arrears but they were not taken as a long-range penalty attempt went badly astray before a much easier kick rebounded back off a post.Despite being down to 14 men, Dragons had their best period of the half and deservedly picked up some points when Jones kicked his third penalty.Pretorius returned from the sin-bin as Dragons maintained their momentum for the remainder of the half. Gloucester captain Laidlaw was yellow-carded for playing the ball after being tackled, with Jones kicking the resulting penalty for Dragons to hold a 12-11 interval lead.Four minutes after the restart, Dragons extended that advantage with a fifth penalty from Jones before Laidlaw was able to return in time to see Meyer fire over a superb kick from inside his own half.With 18 minutes remaining, Gloucester drew level when James Hook chipped through and when Pretorius was unable to gather, McColl was on hand to collect and score the try, which Laidlaw converted.Jones missed a golden opportunity to put Dragons back in front but his 30-metre drop goal attempt sailed wide before Laidlaw gave Gloucester the lead.But with four minutes remaining, Dragons scored the decisive try when Davies finished off a driving line-out to send the holders out of the competition. Kyle Scott Jersey . Although head coach Randy Carlyle jokingly wondered how much actual training Bolland got done while in London. "I dont know how much training goes on when you go back to the junior team that you played for so I wouldnt read too much into that," laughed Carlyle after the Maple Leafs were put through an up-tempo practice that concluded with a 10-minute bag skate on Thursday.

They presumably didnt want to make a mess of the court where he was essentially a coach between the lines for the Mavericks when they won the franchises only title in 2011. Joe Johnson scored 22 points, including the tying layup in regulation and the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime, to lead the Nets past the Mavericks 107-104 Sunday night in Kidds first game as a coach in the city where his career started in 1994 and reached its peak in his second stint 17 years later. The Nets swept the two-game season series with Dallas in their first year under Kidd, who was also celebrating his 41st birthday. "Its a little wet in there," Kidd said, warning of the pile of ice surrounded by towels in the middle of the locker room floor. "You guys be careful. I dont want any media getting hurt." Marcus Thornton had 11 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter for the Nets, who won their fourth straight game and beat a Western Conference team for the fifth straight time. Monta Ellis led Dallas with 32 points, but Dirk Nowitzki finished with 10 on one of his toughest shooting nights of the season. Nowitzki hit his first shot of overtime after going 1-of-10 in regulation, but the Mavericks couldnt make any shots until it was too late in overtime. Nowitzki was 2-of-12 from the field, finishing below 42 per cent for the third time in four games as the Mavericks dropped to 2-2 on a franchise-record eight-game homestand. Both losses have been in overtime, and now Dallas faces back-to-back games against teams with much more secure playoff futures in Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers. "This is not the time to panic," said Ellis, who had four assists and four turnovers. "We still have four more home games. We are going to try to get these four." After a layup that tied the score with 9 seconds left in regulation, Johnson put the Nets up 96-93 early in overtime with a 3-pointer and answered a pair of free throws from Nowitzki with a jumper. After another miss by Nowitzki, Shaun Livingston stepped in front of a pass fromm Shawn Marion and went the distance for a layup and Brooklyns biggest lead at 100-95.dddddddddddd Deron Williams and Paul Pierce had 15 points apiece for the Nets. The Mavericks, who led by 14 points after the first quarter and midway through the third, were up four with 44 seconds left in the regulation when Pierce hit two free throws after getting fouled by Marion. After Nowitzki shot an airball on a fadeway, Johnson drove for a layup and a 91-all tie. Ellis missed a long 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation. Sam Dalembert had season highs of 15 rebounds and seven blocks, and he had two huge plays that werent rebounds when he was fouled trying to get the ball and made three of four free throws in the last 1:11. Dalembert scored 12 points. The Mavericks led by 14 after the first quarter and again midway through the third before the Nets made a charge with a 14-0 run to a 73-72 lead on two free throws from Williams. Thornton had consecutive 3-pointers to get Brooklyn within a point. "We just had too many lapses tonight," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "A lot of them were on innocent plays when we had a lead, but, you know, in a one-possession game, those things come back to you." Devin Harris, who was traded to the Nets when Kidd returned to Dallas in 2008, came off the bench much earlier than usual after Jose Calderon was knocked out of the game just 45 seconds in by an inadvertent elbow to the face from Mason Plumlee. Calderon didnt return, and Carlisle said his status is uncertain. Harris hit three 3-pointers in the first 6 minutes and led the Mavericks with nine points in the first half. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a season-high 40 minutes. NOTES: Nets F Andrei Kirilenko left in the first half with a mild left ankle sprain and didnt return. ... The Mavericks showed a clever "Shawn Marion training video" making light of an unconventional shooting style where he short-arms the ball with his right hand. Marion was laughing when he came off the bench after the timeout. ... Nets F Mirza Teletovic had nine points after getting a career-high 34 in 107-106 win at Brooklyn in late January. ' ' '
