Worcester suffered a miserable night in south Wales as their European Challenge Cup quarterfinal hopes were dented by Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade.The Warriors were beaten 22-7 and also had back-row forward Sam Betty sent off midway through the first half.Reduced to 14 men for more than an hour - Betty received a red card from referee David Wilkinson following a flare-up involving both sets of forwards - Worcester were undone by second half tries from Dragons substitute Tyler Morgan and prop Sam Hobbs.Connor Braid converted his own try to give Worcester an early lead, but that was sn cancelled out by a Tavis Knoyle touchdown that Angus OBrien converted, with OBrien adding another conversion and penalty.It meant the Warriors dropped to the bottom of Pl Three, while Brive remained top of the group after scoring six tries to see off Russian opponents Enisei-STM 38-18 in France.A comfortable home win was never in doubt after Brive scored three first-half tries, while their opponents did not help their cause by having three players sin-binned.Former England wing Tom Varndell claimed a hat-trick of tries as Aviva Premiership strugglers Bristol recorded back-to back victories over French club Pau.Bristol, without a league win this season, followed up last weekends victory at Ashton Gate to claim a 28-18 Pl Four verdict in south-west France.Varndell claimed his opener just before the break, and then added two more during nine second-half minutes as Bristol claimed a bonus triumph to stay in touch with group pace-setters Bath and Cardiff Blues.Jack Wallace also touched down for the west country club, while Jason Wdward and Adrian Jarvis each kicked two conversions.

Tyler Kennedy wondered if hed ever get the chance again. Thats never an issue for Sidney Crosby, who followed the lead of his decidedly less-heralded teammates to establish a bit of order to the Pittsburgh Penguins first-round series with the New York Islanders. Vokoun stopped 31 shots in his first post-season appearance in six years, Kennedy broke a scoreless tie with a sizzling breakaway and Crosby delivered another magical goal in a career stuffed with them. The Penguins beat the Islanders 4-0 in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. Kris Letang and Doug Murray also scored for Pittsburgh, which finally lked like the team that rolled to the best record in the Eastern Conference during the regular season. Game 6 is Saturday in New York. Another 60 minutes like the Penguins put together on Thursday and a Game 7 wont be required. "They played harder than us," New York coach Jack Capuano said. "The better team won tonight. They deserved the hockey game." One the Penguins desperately needed after the Islanders evened the series 2-2 with a wild 6-4 victory in Game 4 that appeared to have the top seed reeling. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma grew so frustrated watching eighth-seeded New York overwhelm goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury that Bylsma benched the Stanley Cup winner -- who had made 79 consecutive playoff starts -- in favour of Vokoun, a 36-year-old journeyman who has never made it out of the first round of the post-season in his career. Vokoun is three periods away now after shutting out the Islanders for the second time this season. Not bad for a guy starting his first playoff game since April 20, 2007 while playing for Nashville. "I was a little bit nervous the whole day; you wouldnt be human if you werent," Vokoun said. It didnt lk like it once the puck dropped. Vokoun didnt budge when the Islanders dominated the first period, turning aside 14 shots in the first 20 minutes as the Penguins tried to gain their bearings with a new lineup designed to cut down New Yorks speed advantage. Though Bylsmas biggest change was inserting Vokoun in place of Fleury, he also scratched defenceman Mark Eaton and forwards Jussi Jokinen and Tanner Glass in favour of younger, quicker skaters Simon Despres, Joe Vitale and Kennedy. The moves paid off handsomely. Kennedy, squeezed out of the rotation by the influx of veterans brought in at the trade deadline, gave the Penguins the confidence bst they needed 7:25 into the second period. The play began innocently enough in Pittsburghs end before Letang hit Kennedy with a pinpoint 80-ft stretch pass right up the middle of the ice. Kennedy greedily accepted the puck at New Yorks blue line, then flipped a wrist shot over Evgeni Nabokovs glove to give Pittsburgh the lead. The score seemed to rattlee Nabokov.dddddddddddd Murray loped in a lazy wrist shot from the point that Nabokov tried to glove only to have the puck slip out of his left hand, over his back and into the net. There was nothing fluky about Crosbys third goal of the series, a masterpiece that ranks among the more dazzling plays of his already highlight-heavy career. The Pittsburgh captain, still wearing a cumbersome mask to protect his broken jaw, tk a pass from teammate Jarome Iginla at centre ice then effortlessly split New York defenders Lubomir Visnovsky and Thomas Hickey. Crosby crossed the blue line and poked the puck ahead as the defencemen closed in, lifting his stick before stepping through a pair of flailing poke checks. Nabokov didnt have a chance as the wrist shot zipped over the goaltenders stick to push the lead to 3-0. Theres a statue outside Consol Energy Center commemorating a similar goal by Hall of Famer and team co-owner Mario Lemieux. The bronze sculpture shows Lemieux slicing through two Islanders defenders in 1988 on his way to the net. Crosby downplayed any similarities. "His was much nicer than mine," Crosby said. "He went through guys and stickhandled through them and stickhandled around the goalie, t. I had a few less moves and a pretty basic shot, but Ill take the goal anytime it goes in." The Islanders never recovered. While they kept Vokoun busy, he was rarely outnumbered as Pittsburgh cut down on the turnovers that led to a seemingly endless flurry of odd-man rushes by the Islanders in Games 2-4. "We didnt do a great job of helping Marc out," Crosby said. "We wanted to make sure we did a better job in front of our goalie." When New York did manage to get deep, Vokoun didnt falter and neither did the guys in front of him as the Penguins were able to develop a consistent rhythm for the first time since a 5-0 romp in Game 1. Nabokov never located one and found himself on the bench when Letang scored on the power play 5:43 into the third period. Nabokov finished with 23 saves but spent the final 14:17 watching backup Kevin Poulin kept the Penguins off the board. The Islanders will get a chance to regroup at home on Saturday in their bid to win a playoff series for the first time in 20 years. At least Game 5 is over. New York hasnt won a Game 5 of any playoff series since 1988. "For us its two Game 7s right now starting on Saturday," New York defenceman Mark Streit said. "Weve just got to concentrate on our game, what brought us in this situation and what makes us successful. We know we have it in the rm. Were a confident group." NOTES: New York played without D Andrew MacDonald, who is dealing with an upper body injury. The Islanders also scratched F Marty Reasoner and D Matt Carkner among others ... Kennedys goal was his sixth winning goal in the post-season, sixth most in Pittsburgh history. ' ' '
