  Derbyshire 362 (Madsen 76, Raine 5-66) and 104 for 4 drew with Leicestershire 380 (Eckersley 117, Parkinson 4-90) and 294 for 9 dec (Eckersley 104) lead by 127 runsScorecard The pitch, easy-paced throughout, had the final word as this Division Two match ended in a draw, though not before Ned Eckersley completed his second hundred of the match - the second time in his career the Leicestershire batsman has scored a century in both innings of a Championship fixture. Dylan Larkin Jersey .Leicestershire, who resumed on an apparently precarious 109 for 5, a lead of just 127, lost just one wicket during the morning session while increasing their lead to over 200.Things might have been different had Chesney Hughes, at first slip, been able to hold a chance given by Niall OBrien in the opening over, the left-hander edging a Tony Palladino delivery to first slip. Hughes juggled the ball three times but was unable to hang on.OBrien and Eckersley then batted without alarm, albeit scoring at just two runs an over, in extending their partnership past 50. OBrien had not hit a boundary in 116 balls when shortly before lunch he went back to a cut a delivery from left-arm spinner Callum Parkinson and edged a catch behind.Clint McKay could not resist trying to loft Parkinsons left-arm spin into the stands, missed and was bowled, but Ben Raine gave Eckersley solid support in adding 53 for the eighth wicket before losing his middle stump to Neil Brooms occasional offspin.Eckersley, who hit 117 in the first innings, then went to his century off 170 balls, becoming the first Leicestershire batsman to achieve the feat since he himself did so against Worcestershire in 2013.The declaration came very late, leaving Derbyshire a target of 313 off 38 over, and when Raine bowled Billy Godleman without scoring, and Chesney Hughes got a leading edge off McKay and was caught at mid-on for 5, there were some wondering whether Leicestershire had been too pessimistic about the docility of the pitch.The more so when Ben Slater went leg before to a Charlie Shreck delivery that kept low and Broom was caught in the gully having edged a Shreck delivery onto his pad, leaving the visitors of 43 for 4.Throughout the game, however, once the new ball effect wore off batsmen found it relatively easy to survive, and Wayne Madsen and Shiv Thakor - not without the occasional alarm - saw their side through to the draw. Parkinson, on his first class debut, bowled a remarkable 70.4 overs in the match, and finished with six wickets. Kris Draper Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Andreas Athanasiou Jersey . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. http://www.cheapredwingsjerseys.com/?tag=adidas-gordie-howe-jersey . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. STORRS, Conn. -- UConn football coach Bob Diaco has shuffled his coaching staff in an attempt to jumpstart the anemic Huskies offense.Diaco announced Tuesday that he has demoted offensive coordinator Frank Verducci and moved running backs coach David Corley into that role.The Huskies (3-6, 1-5 American), who have lost three straight games, face Temple (6-3, 4-1) on Friday.UConn ranks 106th out of 128 Bowl subdivision teams in total offense and 126th in scoring offense, averaging just over 361 yards and 18 points a game.Its obviously not something I wanted to do, but very necessary, Diaco said.Diaco, a former defensive coordinator at Notre Dame has taken a hands-off approach to the offense. He said he does not expect Corley to bring a significantly different look to the Huskies style, which is based on establishing the run and limiting turnovers.We can do what we can do at this point with our offensive players, he said. They are good at particular things and not good at particular things. David is really talented and hes going to be a real icon in our profession, but hes not a magician.Corley was a quarterbacck at William & Mary and spent six years on the coaching staff there before joining Diaco in 2014 at UConn, where also has coached wide receivers. Danny DeKeyser Jersey. e said his play-calling experience has been limited to a couple of series in a single game at William & Mary, when the offensive coordinator had issues with his headset.But hes confident he can do the job.We feel like weve got some talented players offensively, and weve got guys who are good enough to help us win ballgames, he said. Weve just got to now put these guys in the best position possible to utilize all of their skillsets.Tight end Tyler Davis said the players are excited about the change.He brings a lot of excitement and energy, he said. We know weve got a lot of good football players on this team and once we put it together, were going to be a good team.Diaco says Verducci will stay on the staff and work with the tackles and tight ends.---This story has been corrected to show Corley joined UConn in 2014, not 2013.
