We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

Enniskillen eventually came out top in this hard-fought Forster Cup Final against Monaghan at Ravenhill with a late try by taking the final score to 18 -10.

Enniskillen got out of the blocks quickly with an early penalty by taking the score to 3 – 0 within minutes of the kick off.

‘Skins had more opportunities to go further ahead as they pounded the Monaghan line but it was the Monaghan men who were next to score with a well executed try by centre who crashed over under the posts, taking a fair few of the ‘Skins defence with him. Scrum half converted taking the score to 3 – 7.

Monaghan had further chances close to the Enniskillen line and they eventually went further ahead after a penalty by Reid. This was cancelled out by Connolly, taking the half time score to 10 – 6.

Monaghan must have been confident at half time as they turned round to play with the breeze but it was Enniskillen who were able to raise their game to take the lead, a try by  giving the ‘Skins a slender one point lead.

There was no lack of effort from the Monaghan side but it was ‘Skins who looked on top for the rest of the game and they got their reward when the impressive Ross Duncan barged over, with his pack behind him, to give ‘Skins a deserved 18 -10 win.

Smiles all round for Enniskillen Captain Ben Hamilton and try scorers James Prenter and Ross Duncan at the end of the Forster Cup Final.
