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.

Larne Grammar’s Schools Cup run came to an abrupt end with a 42 – 0 defeat by Regent House on Saturday morning.

The home side ran in eight tries without reply on a dank and overcast morning and Regent now go forward to face Rainey Endowed in Round 3.

Larne fought a rear guard battle in the first half with a strong defence and good work at the breakdown getting them out of trouble on several occasions. However the visitors kicked the ball away aimlessly on too many occasions inviting Regent to attack time after time.

Larne held out till the 30th minute with the Regent No. 14 crossing the line on his third attempt and their impressive out half crossed before the half time to give the home side a 10 – 0 lead at the break.

Regent scored again shortly after the re-start to totally deflate the visitors and the Newtownards side romped home scoring a further five tries, converting one, to take the final score to Regent House 42 Larne 0.

It was a cold and gloomy old morning and the light wasn’t great, with LGS being my alma mater I’d had enough by the sixth try and slipped off to get warmed up, but here’s some pictures from the game anyway.
