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.

A spirited Enniskillen lost out to a strong City of Derry side 10 – 22 in this entertaining Women’s AIL 2N League match at Enniskillen Rugby Club on Sunday afternoon.

From the resulting scrum No 8 Nixon broke through a series of tackles to power her way over the line taking the half time score to Enniskillen 3 City of Derry 10.

Derry went further ahead at the start of the second half with storming clear from the half way line and when speedster McGurk jinked through the Skins defence to touch down under the posts, for Rachel Lennox to convert, Derry looked out of sight with the score at 3 – 22.

Enniskillen refused to lie down and, with youngster leading the charge, the home side pressed hard for a try of their own.
