AIL 2N: Cavan 5 Cill Dara 3.

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.

Cavan Ladies fought hard for a deserved 5 – 3 win in this tight contest against Cill Dara. The win sees Cavan move up to seventh place with a sixth place finish possible if they manage to overcome out of sorts Malahide next week in the final round of AIL2N fixtures.

The visitors started the game well, dominating the first half which was played mostly in the Cavan half. Cill Dara’s captain, Carmela Morey, showed well in the opening exchanges coming close on a few occasions but the visitors were held out by a strong Cavan defense and were restricted to three penalty attempts.

Unfortunately for Cill Dara their out half, Sinead McBride, failed to re-discover the kicking form she displayed during the warm up and the visitors turned round with only three points to show for their efforts.

Cavan upped their game in the second half putting the visitors on the back foot, with Ulster duo Hillary Quinn and Bridgid Reynolds to the fore as they battered the Cill Dara line.

After a series of penalties inside the Cill Dara 22, Cavan eventually got their breakthrough with Quinn taking a quick tap and barging over the line for a try. The conversion was missed leaving Cavan with a slender 5 – 3 lead.

Cill Dara pushed hard to get something out of the match but struggled to get out of their own half with the home side finishing the match on top.
