Sport in brief: 14/05/14

FOOTBALL: Atalanta have been fined €40,000 (£ 32,000) after a banana and a knife was thrown on to the pitch during Sunday’s 2-1 home win against AC Milan.

Serie A’s disciplinary tribunal also ordered that the club’s Curva Nord stand be closed for one game but suspended the sanction for a year. 

A statement said the penalty will only be implemented if a similar offence is committed during that period.

 

FOOTBALL:Chelsea captain John Terry has signed a one-year contract extension, the Premier League club have announced.

The 33-year-old captain has enjoyed a strong season after being rejuvenated by the return of Jose Mourinho as manager.

Terry, who graduated from Chelsea’s academy and made his first-team debut in 1998, has signed a new deal until the end of the 2014/15 campaign.

 

CRICKET: Rain and bad light put pay to Surrey completing a successful run chase as their County Championship Division Two clash with Gloucestershire will go into the fourth and final day.

Following rain delays Smith (39 not out) and Burns (seven not out) faced less than two overs before play resumed at 5pm.

Even then only seven balls were bowled before the rain returned, meaning Surrey will go into the last day needing 220 runs to win.

 

RUGBY: Gloucester have announced that defence coach Paul Moriarty is to leave the club — 24 hours after they revealed the departure of rugby director Nigel Davies.

Former Wales back-row forward Moriarty will not have his contract renewed, the Premiership club said.

He was one of Davies’s first appointments in July 2012 as they resumed a coaching partnership that saw them work together at the Llanelli-based Scarlets.
