Connacht claimed their first ever Guinness PRO12 title
after a 20-10 victory over Leinster in the Murrayfield
final. The determination of Pat Lams men to attack paid
off with first-half scores from Tiernan OHalloran and
Niyi Adeolokun and they wrapped up victory when Matt
Healy crossed after the break.Leinster were looking to
claim their fifth crown but they could only muster a
Jonny Sexton penalty and a late Sean Cronin try as they
failed to rise to the occasion in front of a record final
crowd of almost 35,000. Connacht booked their place in
the play-offs by topping the league table but before
kick-off few gave Irelands least successful province much
hope against the Dublin powerhouse.While the Edinburgh
face-off was Leinsters ninth appearance in the final,
their Galway rivals were making their first appearance in
the competitions showpiece climax. Connachts Tiernan
OHalloran beats Rob Kearney of Leinster to score a try
However, the only nerves on show came from the pre-match
favourites, who fumbled their way through the first 40
minutes.Connachts underdogs by contrast were ice cool as
they took just 13 minutes to carve out the opener.Centre
Bundee Akis break did enough to disrupt the Blues defence
before OHalloran turned Rob Kearney inside out as he
sprinted home. AJ MacGinty nailed the conversion.With
Ireland lock Devin Toner absent for Leinster following
the unexpended death of his father on Friday, the last
thing Blues coach Leo Cullen needed to see was Mick
Kearney being forced off with concussion. Connachts Niyi
Adeolokun beats Eoin Reddan of Leinster to score But
Connacht were in no mood to show compassion and struck
again after 22 minutes.Leinster could not cope with the
speed with which the Galway men put the ball through
their hands and were unzipped when Adeolokun found
himself up against the flatfooted Luke Fitzgerald out
wide. The Nigerian winger was by no means clean through
but his chip-and-chase was perfectly executed as he
darted home for the score.MacGinty pulled his attempt at
the extras wide but made amends with a penalty soon
after.The half-time break offered Leinster a chance to
finally catch their breath and Sextons penalty three
minutes into the second period was a welcome sight.
Connachts Tiernan OHalloran beats Rob Kearney of Leinster
to score a try However, the green waves continued to
crash forward. Hooker Tom McCartney almost danced home
for the unlikeliest of tries, only to be held up after
Sextons last-gasp tackle.But that only delayed the
inevitable, with Connachts third touchdown coming after
57 minutes when MacGinty saw the space in behind the
ragged Leinster defence and measured his grubber kick
with precision for Healy to run onto and dot
down.MacGintys goal-kicking, though, was not quite as
accurate as he smashed the conversion against the
upright. Connachts John Muldoon with Leinsters Dave
Kearney and Jamie Heaslip Leinster substitute wing Zane
Kirchner thought he had given his side hope when he dived
over in the corner but had his celebrations cut short by
referee Nigel Owens after spotting Ben Teos forward pass
in the build-up.The Dubliners finally grabbed a try when
Cronin ran in with 12 minutes left but even then it came
in controversial style as Owens refused to stop play
despite seeing OHalloran knocked clean out following a
brutal collision with Kirchner.Legs were tiring in the
Connacht camp but the composure which served them so well
in the early stages never wavered as they held out for
their maiden PRO12 triumph.

Matt Duchene was simply going for a cross-ice pass. A
fortunate bounce turned it into the winning goal. The
Colorado forward didnt know it until the roar of the
crowd clued him in. Duchene scored 2:33 into overtime,
and Semyon Varlamov stopped 33 shots to lift the
Avalanche to a 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday
night. "Were all pretty exhausted," Duchene said. "I felt
like I was back in high school playing hockey, but those
games are fun to win." Duchene got free after a nifty
move in the corner and saw Ryan OReilly on the far side.
Duchene tried to thread a pass to him, only to have it
hit the stick of Jets defenceman Tobias Enstrom and
bounce in the air. The puck hit Duchene in the leg,
dropped down to his stick. From there he lifted it over
backup goalie Al Montoya. "I didnt even know it went in,"
said Duchene, who has a point in a career-high eight
straight games. "I just heard the crowd cheering, and I
figured it went past him. It was a good bounce, nice to
get that one." Montoya was almost as surprised. "I dont
even remember it. I really dont, sorry about that," he
said. "I know the puck bounced in front of me, was poked
in front of me, and it landed right on the guys tape."
Enstrom made quite a save to make sure the game reached
overtime. Late in the third period, Enstrom dove after a
puck that was rolling toward the net. He swatted it away
just before it crossed the line. Jets coach Paul Maurice
didnt fault Enstroms attempted clear. "Just a little bad
luck in front of the net," Maurice said. "Bobbled the
puck and its in the back." John Mitchell, Andre Benoit
and Duchene provided an offensive spark on a night the
Avs lost another forward when P.A. Parenteau hurt his
right knee early in the game. They were already without
Paul Stastny, who was sidelined because of a sore back.
Avs coach Patrick Roy said Parenteau could miss
significant time with an MCL injury. "I think hes going
to miss the remainder of the regular season, and well see
for the playoffs," Roy said.dddddddddddd"(Tuesday), well
know more. Im just guessing right now." Winnipeg had a 2-
on-1 opportunity in overtime, but Varlamov deflected Olli
Jokinens shot into the netting behind the goal. Colorado
scored 4:38 into the second period on a goal originally
credited to rookie Nathan MacKinnon, when it looked as
though he tapped in a pass from Mitchell. But the goal
was later awarded to Mitchell after the puck appeared to
hit off the stick of Jets defenceman Zach Bogosian. The
lead didnt last long as Byfuglien scored twice in a span
of 1:48. He tapped his first goal past Varlamov on a
power play. Later, Byfuglien bounced a puck off Varlamovs
left skate from near the boards behind the net. Benoit
tied it with 12 seconds remaining in the second on a slap
shot from near the blue line. It was a frenetic first
period that featured no scoring but plenty of big hits
and a penalty shot by Jim Slater after Marc-Andre Cliche
hooked him from behind. Slater couldnt capitalize,
though, lining his shot into Varlamovs glove. Varlamov
later turned back Evander Kane on another breakaway
attempt. The Jets were flummoxed by Varlamov all period,
even running into the Colorado goalie twice and drawing
penalties. The Avs were on the power play four times in
the first period, but couldnt sneak anything past
Montoya, who gave Ondrej Pavelec the night off. Colorado
lost Parenteau in a collision near the blue line with
Mark Stuart less than four minutes into the game. After a
quick rest, Parenteau momentarily returned to the ice to
test out the knee before heading into the dressing room.
"He was in pain, but you know P.A.," Roy said. "Hes a
great team guy, and he wanted give it a try." NOTES: Jets
F John Albert left in the second period because of an
upper body injury and didnt return. ... F Bryan Little
recorded two assists, giving him 52 points for the
season, which is a career high. ... Varlamov earned his
32nd win of the season.
