New Newcastle coach Mark Jones believes his unfancied side might have pulled off an upset win over reigning champions Adelaide but for some calamitous defending that changed the course of the match.Jones gave his first game in charge a big tick after his Jets held the Reds to a 1-1 draw at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.But the 50-year-old felt his outfit may have doubled their first-half advantage had goalkeeper Jack Duncan and defender Daniel Mullen not been caught up in a moment of miscommunication.Up a goal thanks to English midfielder Wayne Brown, Duncan raced off his line and clattered into Mullen, leaving the pair prone on the ground and allowing Makarounas to help himself to an open net.At that stage we were in a decent position so it was disappointing to concede a goal in that fashion, Jones said.We had the opportunity for a second goal there. If we got that it could have been a different outcome.We were good value for the point and unlucky not to get more.Indeed, Newcastle played with a liveliness that belied their tumultuous off-season, during which former coach Scott Miller was sacked.They also held their own in a contest that picked off key players to injury, with Mullen (medial ligament), Jason Hoffman (calf) and Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko (Achilles), who hit the crossbar early, all retiring mid-match.Newcastle struck first when, against the run of play, Andrew Nabbout found Brown.With United custodian Eugene Galekovic off his line, he raked a long-range shot into the top-left corner.It put Adelaide s bright start off kilter until Makarounas restored parity.The 22-year-old Makarounas was in stirring form, at one point evading two defenders and passing off sweetly to Sergio Cirio, only for the Spaniard to blast into the side netting.A flurry of chances came and went for both sides but neither could land the killer blow in a goalless second half.Former Jet James Holland made an impact on debut with some brave defending to single-handedly stop Andrew Hoole netting the winner.Henrique clipped a dangerous ball towards goal while Hoole and Devante Clut tested Galekovics mettle.In the end, his Jets counterpart Duncan atoned for his earlier error with aplomb, tipping Ben Garuccios dangerous free-kick over the crossbar.Coach Guillermo Amor praised the performance of his players but said it was not the ideal way to open a title defence.I prefer to win, Amor said.Sometimes its not possible. This was a hard game.Ed Oliver Bills Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews.

TreDavious White Womens Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.TORONTO -- The Tampa Bay Rays are the only team in the American League East with a losing record.They do have a winning record against the Toronto Blue Jays, however.The Rays, who ended a three-game losing skid with a 4-2 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday, bring a 9-7 record this season against the Blue Jays when the teams open a three-game series Monday at Rogers Centre.A good bounce back win for the guys (Sunday), Rays manager Kevin Cash said There were a lot of people frustrated (Saturday, a 5-1 loss) and the last three games but really frustrated (Saturday).The teams are 5-5 at Tropicana Field, but the Rays have a 4-2 advantage in Toronto. They swept the Blue Jays in a three-game series in Toronto on May 16-18.The Blue Jays lost two of three games at Tropicana Field Sept. 2-4. They lost their lead in the American League East and now trail by two games after losing two of three to the first-place Boston Red Sox, who won the rubber game Sunday, 11-8.The Rays will recall right-handed pitcher Dana Eveland from Triple-A Durham for the series.They also are dealing with an injury to first baseman Logan Morrison, who left after one at-bat on Sunday with a wrist injury.He probably irritated, theres a sheath in your wrist, Cash said. Were going to get some more doctors to look at it. Hes going to go with us to Toronto and when we go to Baltimore well probably send him to Tampa.The Blue Jays are 2-7 in September and have lost five of their past six games. They have played sloppy baseball, but seemed to pick things up after a players-only meeting before the 3-2 win over Boston on Saturday.Theres still a lot of time left, said Troy Tulowitzki, who had a grand slam among his three hits Sunday. What, 20 games left? Theres a lot of time, plus, we sstill play these guys (the Red Sox three more games).dddddddddddd A lot of things can happen. I think weve been jockeying for position the whole year, just right now were two games back. We wouldve liked to have won the series but unfortunately we didnt but well move on.The Blue Jays will start left-hander Francisco Liriano (7-12, 5.27 ERA), who replaces R.A. Dickey in the rotation, on Monday. Dickey will be available from the bullpen before he makes his next start during the four-game series Thursday-Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim.Liriano will be making his first start since Aug. 26. His past two outings have been from the bullpen.He is 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA in six outings (four starts) since he was acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 1. He is 2/3 with a 5.32 ERA in nine career games (eight starts) against the Rays.Right-hander Jake Odorizzi (9-6, 3.86 ERA) will start for the Rays on Monday. He is 3-2 with a 3.34 ERA in 10 career starts against the Blue Jays. He is 2-2 with a 4.96 ERA in six career starts at Rogers Centre. In four starts against Toronto this season, he is 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA.The Blue Jays are having such a tough time that they even lost when scoring eight runs on Sunday. They are now 22-1 when scoring eight or more runs.Well be all right, Tulowitzki said. Veteran lineup. Well go through some good times, some bad times. I think ideally you want the middle of the order to click all at the same time but sometimes that doesnt happen. I think when they do click at the same time thats when you see those big offensive games, hopefully we can get that going here soon. ' ' '
