Women AIL: Cooke 14 Old Belvedere 45

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.

We’re just over a third of the way through the regular season fixtures and it looks as though the Women’s All Ireland League is continuing to split as the top four continue to pull away from the bottom four. 

I’m afraid our featured team, Cooke Women RFC, continue to remain planted in the bottom half, slipping to 6th place after a comprehensive defeat by Old Belvedere at Shaw’s Bridge on Sunday afternoon. 

Cooke, resplendent in their new kit, got off to the best of starts with crossing and converting to give the home side a 7 – 0 lead. 

However Old Belvedere kicked it up a gear and hit back with scores from ,  and a brace from Alison Millar to take the score to 7 – 31 at the break. 

A more even second half saw Miller complete her hat-trick before sneaked in for a second try for Cooke, again converted by Jackson. It was the visitors though that had the final say as grabbed a try, to add to her six conversions and a penalty, to give a final score of Cooke 14 Old Belvedere 45.
