Irish Premiership
Carrick Rangers 1 - 0 Portadown FT
Paul Heatley scored the only goal of the game as David Jeffrey's return to Irish Premiership management with Portadown ended in a 1-0 defeat by Carrick Rangers at Taylors Avenue
There was controversy inside the opening two minutes Heatley, who had broken through, went down following a tangle with Jack Scott, but referee Steven Gregg waved play on.
However, the Ballyclare official was forced to reach for his red card on 26 minutes to dismiss Portadown's Liam Jessop for a high challenge on Michael Place.

There might not be a better match play golfer in the history of the state of Utah than Kelsey Chugg, a 35-year-old amateur who continues to defy the odds on the golf course.
The **** ociate director of golf for Salt Lake City was at it again on Wednesday at Oakridge Country Club in Farmington, winning a pair of matches against much younger players to advance to the 36-hole championship match of the 120th Women’s State Amateur.
Chugg will face Taylorsville’s Ashley Lam, a Westminster University golfer who prepped at Skyline High, in Thursday’s final match at 7:30 a.m. as Chugg chases her seventh **** le and Lam her first.
It will be the eighth championship match for Chugg, who is 6-1 in **** le matches in 15 appearances in the Utah Women’s State Amateur and now has a 45-8 record in State Am matches, according to Kurt Kragthorpe of Fairways Magazine.
Chugg advanced Wednesday with a 2 up victory over another former champion, 2020 winner Grace Summerhays of Scottsdale, Arizona. Summerhays recently completed her college career at Arizona State and was playing in only her second event after taking nearly nine months off due to wrist injuries.

Even though only some 50 men born in the state of Utah have reached the majors, there is enough talent to field a mythical dream team comprised of those who were either born in Utah or went to high school there; college MLB products are another story.
So, with a nod to the MLB All-Star game in Philadelphia next week, here is one writer’s Utah dream team, with birthplace/Utah high school and years played in the majors:
Catcher: John Buck (Taylorsville High, 2004-14) — Born in Wyoming, Buck was drafted in the seventh round out of high school by the Houston Astros in 1998. He worked his way through the minors and made his MLB debut June 25, 2004, for the Kansas City Royals after being traded there the day before.
Buck also played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Miami Marlins, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels. He was an All-Star in 2010 — his only season with the Blue Jays. Buck had 134 career homers with an average of .234.
First base: Chris Shelton (Salt Lake City, 2004-09) — A product of Cottonwood High, Salt Lake City Community College and the University of Utah, Shelton was drafted in the 33rd round by the Pittsburgh Pirates but still lasted several years in The Show.
